Krishna Janmashtami 2025

A cartoon image that reads "Krishna Janmashtami". A figure wearing orange trousers and gold anklets walks, leaving footprints. There are two vases with a decorative pattern, both filled with overflowing liquid.

Today (16/08/2025) marks the start of Krishna Janmashtami celebrations. Krishna Janmashtami is an annual Hindu festival that commemorates the birth of Lord Krishna, the eighth incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Celebrations begin today and continue into tomorrow. The date of the festival changes yearly, but it usually occurs in August or September. It is celebrated on the eighth day (Ashtami) of the dark fortnight (Krishna Paksha).

British Online Archives wishes all those celebrating a very happy Krishna Janmashtami.
