Krishna Ashtami, also known as Janmashtami, is one of the most significant festivals in Hinduism, celebrating the birth of Lord Krishna, the eighth incarnation of Lord Vishnu. This festival is observed on the eighth day (Ashtami) of the dark fortnight (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Bhadrapada (usually August or September). It is a time of devotion, celebration, and spiritual upliftment, particularly for followers of Lord Krishna.
