Janmashtami 2025: The birth anniversary of Lord Krishna is celebrated with great pomp across the country on the Ashtami date of Krishna Paksha of Bhadrapada month. It is believed that on this day, Lord Krishna was incarnated in Mathura in Rohini Nakshatra at midnight. Devotees fast, perform bhajan-kirtan and worship the birth anniversary by worshiping at Nishita Kaal at night.

However, in 2025, there is confusion about the date of Janmashtami. According to the almanac, Ashtami Tithi will start from 11:48 pm on 15 August 2025 and end at 9:34 pm on 16 August 2025.
