In 2023 just like every year, the country comes together to celebrate the festival of Janmashtami, which is apparently an important Hindu holiday. Devotees joyfully celebrate Lord Krishna’s birth on this day. Lord Krishna, thought to be Lord Vishnu’s eighth incarnation, is claimed to have been born on Krishna Janmashtami. Most people are considering the Krishna Janmashtami 2023 date to be on 7th September 2023, since schools and offices will be closed.
The holiday is also known as Gokulashtami, Shrikrishna Jayanti, Krishnasthami, and Krishna Janmashtami, and it is commemorated on the Ashtami Tithi of Krishna Paksha in Bhadrapad. People participate in Janmashtami celebrations by decorating temples, dwellings, and even public venues in honor of Lord Krishna. Some people dress up like Lord Krishna to tell the epic story of his life.
Janmashtami Date 2023
On the eighth day of Bhadrapada’s dark fortnight, Krishna Janmashtami is celebrated. Krishna was born on this day in the Rohini Nakshatra, according to Hindu legend. For many, September 7, 2023, is considered Krishna Janmashtami 2023 since schools and offices are closed on this day. However, there’s a bit of confusion among Lord Krishna’s devotees about whether to observe Janmashtami on September 6th or 7th, 2023. The two-day celebration will conclude on the evening of September 7th.
While Rohini Nakshatra begins on September 6 at 9:20 a.m. and ends on September 7 at 10:25 a.m., Ashtami Tithi begins on September 6 at 3:37 p.m. and concludes on September 7 at 4:14 p.m.
The day is especially observed in Mathura and Vrindavan (Brindaban), the birthplaces of Krishna. Krishna is then dressed in fresh clothes, cleansed in milk and water, and worshipped. On this day, devotees fast and celebrate his birthday at midnight.

Flowers and foliage are used to embellish temples and domestic shrines, and sweets are offered to the goddess before being fed to the household as Prasada (the god’s leftovers, which signify his favor). It is well-celebrated throughout the country. Mathura Krishna Janmashtami 2023 is widely celebrated since it is the birthplace of Lord Krishna.

You’ve probably seen folks decorating for Ras Leela, and the festivities usually extend all night and into the next day. Children dressed up like Krishna as a child, markets adorned with pricey decorations and magnificent handis, and most temples adorned with flowers. Another endearing custom is Dahi Handi. On the second day, Lord Krishna’s birth anniversary is also observed.
Flowers and foliage are used to decorate temples and personal shrines; sweets are first offered to the goddess and then distributed to the household as Prasada (the god’s leftovers, which he blesses). At Krishna Janmashtami 2023, Krishna’s devotees use small miniatures of the god, other participants, and wild animals and birds to recreate scenes from his childhood in Gokul (ancient Vraja) and Mathura (where he was born). These elaborate representations serve as a reminder of the events that led up to Krishna’s birth.
