Krishna Janmashtami: It is a Hindu festival. It marks the birth of Krishna, the eighth avatar of Lord Vishnu. It is observed as per the Hindu lunisolar calendar, on the eighth day of the Krishna Paksha during the Hindu month of Shraavana. It is one of the most important festivals of the Vaishnavism tradition. It is celebrated with high spirit in Mathura and Vrindavan, as it is believed that Krishna spent his childhood days in these two cities. People fast on this day, they sing bhajans and hymns of the god Krishna and keep a vigil into the night. After Krishna’s midnight hour birth, statues of baby Krishna will be washed and adorned with colorful clothes and then placed in a cradle. The devotees later break their fast, by sharing food and sweets.
