Happy Janmashtami: May the blessings of Lord Krishna guide you

Krishna Janmashtami, also known as Janmashtami or Gokulashtami, is a Hindu festival celebrated to commemorate the birth of Lord Krishna. According to Hindu mythology, Lord Krishna was born in the city of Mathura to King Vasudeva and Queen Devaki. The festival of his birth is celebrated with great fervour across the country. Devotees gather at temples and homes, waiting for midnight because it is believed that Lord Krishna was born at midnight. At that moment, the idol of baby Krishna is bathed, adorned with new clothes and jewellery, and placed in a cradle.

The tradition of Dahi Handi is also popular in some parts of the country like Maharashtra. In this, a clay pot filled with dahi (curd) is hung at a height on the day of Janmashtami. Teams of young men then form a human pyramid to reach the pot and break it.
