Janmashtami is a Hindu festival celebrating the birth of Lord Krishna, who is believed to be the eighth incarnation of Lord Vishnu. It is celebrated with great devotion across India, usually in August or September. Devotees fast, sing devotional songs, and visit temples at midnight, which is believed to be the time of Krishna’s birth. Homes and temples are decorated with flowers and lights, and small cradles with baby Krishna idols are placed for worship. In many places, people celebrate Dahi Handi, where groups form human pyramids to break a pot of curd hung high above the ground. Janmashtami symbolizes love, devotion, and the victory of good over evil.
