Janmashtami 2018 | When is Gokulashtami? Date, significance, celebrations
Krishna is worshipped as a God in Hindu mythology, and his birth is celebrated with excitement, devotion and passion.
The invincible hero in terms of physical prowess and intellect, Lord Krishna’s birthday-Janmashtami- is celebrated across India on the eighth day of the dark half (Krishna paksha) of Hindu lunar calendar’s Shravan month. Janmashtami is also known as Krishna Janmashtami, Gokulashtami and Srikrishna Jayanti.
Every year on Janmashtami, all roads lead to Mathura and Vrindavan in Uttar Pradesh where Lord Krishna spent his formative years. Thousands of devotees from across the world turn up every year at the twin towns to celebrate Janmashtami. However, this year, it will be a low key affair, due to pandemic.
This year, it’s falling on August 11. Janmashtami Nishita Puja Timings begin from 11:19 PM to 12:04 AM; Parana Time will start at 11:15 AM on August 12, and end the next day at 11:15 AM.
