Krishna Janmashtami is just hours away!
The popular festival is also known as Janmashtami, Gokulashtami, Krishnasthami or Srijayanti, which marks the birth of Krishna i.e. the eighth avatar of Vishnu.
The festival is celebrated every year and it marks the birth anniversary of Lord Krishna. On this day devotees of Lord Krishna, deck up his idols in new clothes and worship with soulful pujas and grand aartis!
Majorly Hindus celebrate the festival by fasting, singing, praying together, preparing and sharing special food, night vigils, and visiting Krishna or Vishnu temples. Major Krishna temples organize recitation of Bhagavata Purana and Bhagavad Gita.
Interestingly, apart from the traditional ceremonies, devotees even enact dance dramas - called Rasa Lila or Krishna Lila - on devotional songs based on Lord Krishna’s life and valour.
The tradition of Rasa Lila is particularly popular in the Mathura region, in northeastern states of India such as Manipur and Assam, and in parts of Rajasthan and Gujarat. It is acted out by numerous teams of amateur artists, cheered on by their local communities, and these drama-dance plays begin a few days before each Janmashtami.
In the Vaishnavism tradition of Hinduism, Krishna Janmashtami is considered a very important festival. Well, owing to its importance, the festival is celebrated with great enthusiasm in India.
This year, Krishna Janmashtami will be celebrated on two consecutive days – August 18 and August 19. According to Drik Panchang, the Ashtami Tithi begins at 9:20PM on August 18 and will end at 10:59PM on August 19.
