Bhadrapad month, Janmashtami is observed. Shri Krishna was born on this rainy
night. This day is enthusiastically observed by people through rituals and festivities.

Many devotees around the nation continue to fast until baby Krishna is born at
midnight and some even stay going until dawn to celebrate Janmashtami.
After His birth, they bathe Kanha, dress him in gorgeous clothes, give him jewelry,
and put him in a cradle with a lovely design.
Aarti and puja are done for Lord Krishna at the Nanda Utsav, during which
devotees joyfully dance and sing devotional hymns.
For Lord Krishna, a special Prasad is prepared and offered.

On Krishna Janmashtami, young boys and girls climb on top of one another to make a large pyramid, and one person breaks the “Dahi Handi,” which is made of milk, butter, dahi (yogurt), and dry fruits.
There will be competitions to see which team can break the handi in the shortest amount of time and win prizes.
Many devotees of Lord Kanha perform home worship. They make unique preparations to commemorate His birthday.
Children decorate their Puja space with flowers, garlands, and vibrant papers to
celebrate Janmashtami at home, where Kanha will be displayed in a lovely jhula.
They also utilize lighting and diyas to adorn their own home.
