The Krishna Janmashtami festival marks the birth of Krishna, one of the most popular deities worshipped by Hindus. He is thought to have been born in 3228 BC.

Janmashtami is a time to honour his divine leelas (acts), such as his childhood antics, his role as a guide in the Mahabharata, and his universal teachings.

Krishna Janmashtami, a Hindu festival, celebrates the birth of Lord Krishna. Celebrations involve fasting, singing, dancing, and enacting scenes from Krishna's life, often culminating in a midnight ceremony when Krishna is believed to have been born.

Here's a more detailed look at how Janmashtami is celebrated:

Fasting and Devotion:

Many devotees observe a fast, either full or partial, throughout the day.
Fasting is seen as a way to purify oneself and show devotion to Krishna.
Devotees spend the day singing bhajans (devotional songs) and reciting religious texts.
Some may stay awake through the night, keeping vigil until midnight, the time of Krishna's birth.

Ceremonies and Rituals:

At midnight, the main ceremony takes place, often involving the bathing and dressing of a Krishna idol, often as a baby (Bal Gopal).
The idol is placed in a cradle and worshipped, with prayers, chants, and the ringing of bells and conch shells.
Temples and homes are decorated with flowers, garlands, and lights.
Three-dimensional tableaux depicting scenes from Krishna's life are also common.

Feasting and Festivities:

After the midnight ceremony, the fast is broken with a feast, often featuring dishes made with milk and curd, Krishna's favorite foods.
Traditional sweets, fruits, and other foods are also part of the celebrations.
In some regions, the "Dahi Handi" tradition is observed, where teams of young people form human pyramids to break an earthen pot filled with curd or butter that is hung high.
Reenactments of Krishna's childhood pranks and stories are also popular.
