Janmashtami, also known as Krishna Janmashtami or Gokulashtami, is a Hindu festival that celebrates the birth of Lord Krishna, the eighth avatar of Vishnu. It is observed with great devotion and enthusiasm across India, especially in Mathura and Vrindavan, where Krishna spent his childhood. The festival usually involves fasting, singing devotional songs, performing dances, enacting plays depicting Krishna’s life, and participating in the traditional Dahi Handi ceremony.
