## About Janmashtami

Janmashtami celebrates the birth of Lord Krishna at midnight. Devotees fast through the day, decorate a cradle for Bal Gopal and break the fast after the midnight puja. In Maharashtra the next day is Dahi Handi. Some Vaishnava traditions (such as ISKCON) may observe it a day later.

## How the date is decided

Janmashtami falls on Krishna Ashtami of Bhadrapada (purnimanta), at midnight when Lord Krishna was born. In 2026 it falls on Friday, 4 September 2026.
