Krishna Jayanthi / Krishna Jenmashtami is around the corner! Also known as Gokulashtami ,it is celebrated to rejoice in the birth of Lord Krishna, the 8th incarnation of Lord Vishnu. It falls on the 8th day or Ashtami, Krishna Paksha [or the Dark fortnight] in the month of Shraavana in the Hindu calendar.


Each family follows their own customs and traditions as a part of the celebration.

Poojas and prayers are offered around midnight, the time the Lord was born, and several foodstuffs are prepared and offered to the Lord.
