Welcome to our coverage of Krishna Janmashtami 2024, the vibrant Hindu festival that marks the birth of Lord Krishna! Celebrated with immense devotion and fervor, Krishna Janmashtami falls on August 26 this year and is a day dedicated to commemorating the divine arrival of Lord Krishna, the eighth avatar of Vishnu. According to Hindu tradition, Lord Krishna was born at midnight on Bhadrakrishna Ashtami during the Dwapara Yuga, and this day is observed with night-long vigils and fasting by devotees.
Throughout the country, Krishna temples are bustling with activity as devotees flock to these sacred sites to participate in special prayers and rituals. The air is filled with devotion as people sing bhajans, chant mantras, and reenact episodes from Krishna’s life. Many devotees fast and stay awake through the night, eagerly awaiting the moment of Krishna’s divine birth.
In Kathmandu, the celebrations are particularly lively. Various religious organizations organize grand processions featuring elaborately decorated tableaus of Lord Krishna, showcasing scenes from his life and his divine miracles. These processions create a festive atmosphere, drawing both locals and visitors who come to witness and participate in the celebrations.
