Hindus commemorate the birth of Lord Krishna, the deity who is the epitome of playfulness and innocence, on Janmashtami each year. According to the Hindu calendar, Lord Krishna was born on the eighth day of the month of Bhadra. He is an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. According to the Western calendar, the day typically falls in the months of August or September. Prayers are offered to Lord Krishna during the celebration of Janmashtami, which also features beautifully decorated swings, dance and music performances, and the “Dahi-Handi” competition.
Everywhere in the nation, Janmashtami is celebrated with great fervor. In order to commemorate the occasion with religious fervor, pomp, and fanfare, several Lord Krishna temples were decorated. In addition to flowers and lights, the temple was decorated.
