Krishna Janmashtami is one of the most loved and important festivals in Hinduism, marking the birth of Lord Krishna, the eighth incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Celebrated with joy and devotion by Krishna followers all over the world, this day falls on the Ashtami Tithi of Krishna Paksha in the month of Bhadrapada. In 2025, the festival will be extra special as it marks the 5252nd birth anniversary of Lord Krishna.
This year, Janmashtami will be celebrated on two consecutive days – August 15 and August 16, 2025.
Important things:
Lord Krishna was born to Mata Devaki and Vasudeva in Mathura under very difficult conditions. At the time, they were imprisoned by the cruel king Kansa, who was Krishna’s maternal uncle. It is believed that Lord Krishna took birth at midnight under the Rohini Nakshatra to protect the world from evil. His life and teachings, especially from the Bhagavad Gita, continue to inspire millions.
In Maharashtra and Gujarat, Dahi Handi is an exciting part of Janmashtami celebrations. A clay pot filled with butter or curd is hung high, and teams form human pyramids to break it. This event reflects Krishna’s playful love for butter and teaches teamwork and courage.
