Krishna Janmashtami is one of the most auspicious days for Krishna followers. It is one of the most loved Hindu festivals as on this day all the Hindu devotees celebrate the birthday of Lord Krishna. Krishna Janmashtami is celebrated by his followers across the nations as well as in the other countries in a grand and pompous manner.

As per Hindu calendar, Krishna was born on the eighth day of the holy month of Shravana at midnight. He was an incarnation of Vishnu, who was born to demolish the evil on earth. It is said that he was born in a jail of his uncle Kansa’s Kingdom, who wanted to kill Krishna because according to the prophecy, Krishna was to kill Kansa as the punishment of his wrong doings in life. But at the time of his birth, all the guards slept off and the chains were unlocked miraculously and Krishna’s father Vasudev safely took him across the Yamuna and left him with his foster parents Yashoda and Nanda.

Later Krishna did fulfill the prophecy by killing Kansa. He did many miracles in his life and we all know that Krishna’s life is an inspiration for his devotees. Since, then his birthday is celebrated by his followers, they keep a fast till midnight, prepare food, decorate his temples, dance and sing.
