According to the Hindu lunar calendar, Janmashtami is celebrated on the eighth day (Ashtami) of the dark fortnight (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Bhadrapada. The day is considered spiritually significant as Lord Krishna is believed to have been born on this day to Devaki and Vasudeva in Mathura. His birth is celebrated to honour his divine mission of eradicating evil and establishing dharma.
