About Krishna Janmashtami Puja

Krishna Janmashtami celebrates the birth of Lord Krishna · the 8th avatar of Vishnu · on Bhadrapada Krishna Ashtami at midnight. Krishna is the embodiment of joy, love, wisdom, and divine play (Leela). The midnight birth celebration (Nishita Puja) is the main ritual. Families decorate a small cradle for Krishna, offer the famous 56-item Chappan Bhog, and celebrate with bhajans and devotional singing until midnight.

📅 When to perform

Janmashtami is observed on the Ashtami of the dark fortnight (Krishna Paksha) of Bhadrapada month · typically in August. The main puja is at midnight (Nishita Kala) when Krishna was born.
