Krishna Janmashtami, a significant festival in Hindu culture, is celebrated with great enthusiasm. Devotees observe a day of fasting, decorate their homes and temples with flowers, diyas (lamps), and lights, and participate in devotional activities to honor Lord Krishna.
According to the Hindu calendar, Lord Krishna was born on the eighth day of Bhadra month, which corresponds to late August or early September on the Gregorian calendar. This celebration not only commemorates the divine birth of Krishna but also brings together communities in a shared expression of faith and devotion.
