According to legend, Lord Krishna was born in prison to Devaki on Ashtami, the eighth day of the month of Bhadrapada. This year, Janmashtami will be celebrated on Monday, August 26, 2024.
The festival is marked by various rituals and traditions. Devotees sing songs in honour of Lord Krishna and many people perform shows depicting re-enactments of Krishna’s life. The Hindu Drik Panchang states that this festival is celebrated for two days and devotees fast for 24 hours. The fast is broken with a feast called ‘Bhog’, dedicated to Lord Krishna.

The life of Lord Krishna
According to the Puranas and the Bhagavata Purana, Lord Krishna played a pivotal role in the Mahabharata, the epic battle between good and evil. Born as the eighth son of Devaki, Krishna’s life was filled with divine adventures and exploits. Although Krishna was born in prison, Kamsa, warned by a heavenly voice that Devaki’s eighth son would kill him, tried to eliminate the threat. Kamsa imprisoned his sister and brother-in-law, Vasudeva, and killed the first six newborns. When Krishna was born, however, all the guards fell into a deep sleep, and the prison doors were opened by divine power. Krishna’s father, Vasudeva, then crossed the Yamuna River to safely deliver his son to Nanda, whose wife, Yashoda, raised Krishna. The legend of Krishna is famous not only for his remarkable miracles and feats but also for his recitation of the holy Bhagavad Gita on the battlefield of Kurukshetra.
