श्री कृष्ण Janmashtami श्री कृष्ण

Sri Krishna Janmashtami is one of the important famous Hindu festivals that is being celebrated across India. The festival is celebrated with much pomp and gaiety.
According to antecedents, Sri Krishna Janmashtami is the birthday of Lord Krishna, the eighth avatar of Lord Vishnu. The festival is observed on the eighth day of the dark half i.e., Krishna Paksh of the month of August Sravanam / Sravana Maasam / Aavani of Hindu calendar (generally late August or early September of the Gregorian / English calendar month) when the Rohini Star is ascendant.
The festival is observed by fasting on the previous day of Saptami day (the seventh day). This is followed by a night long vigil commemorating the birth of Lord Krishna at night and his immediate removal by his father to a fosterer home for safe keeping. At midnight, the deity of the infant Krishna is bathed, placed in a cradle and worshiped.
In the early morning, ladies draw patterns of little children's feet outside the house with rice-flour paste, walking towards the house। Earlier kids are dressed and decorated as the Lord Krishna during his childhood. This symbolizes the entry of the infant Krishna into his foster-home. This custom is popular in some communities of South India. After ablutions, morning prayers and worship, the devout break their fast with prasadam, food that has first been offered to God. During the fore-noon hours, the "Dahi-Handi" custom is celebrated in some parts of the Deccan. This is followed by sumptuous mid-day feasts, where extended families customarily get together. Sweets made of milk and butter are traditionally prepared on this occasion.
