Among the pantheon of Hindu Gods that are worshipped by Hindu devotees and celebrated through rituals and festivals, Janmashtami is a festival dedicated to the worshipping of Lord Krishna.
The birth of Lord Krishna marks the auspicious day of Janmashtami. This year Janmashtami will be celebrated on two days, August 11 and 12. This marks the 5,247th birth anniversary of Lord Krishna.
Lord Krishna is believed to be the eighth incarnation (avatar) of Lord Vishnu. The festival is celebrated by offering prayers to Lord Krishna. An idol of infant Krishna over a beautifully decorated swing is often the centre of festivities with dance and music performances and Dahi Handi competition being organised at different places.
Devotees observe fast on this day as a gesture of devotion while many others indulge in the festivities by organising cultural programmes and puja rituals at home. However, the Krishna Janmashtami celebrations this year have been marred by the coronavirus pandemic. People will have to avoid large gatherings and temple visits.
