Answer:
Janmashtami, which is also known as Krishnashtami, Krishna Janashtami, Ashtami Rohini, Gokulashtami or Srikrishna Jayanti, is the day when the eighth avatar of Vishnu and Hinduism s favourite god Krishna was born. According to the Hindu calendar, Janmashtami is celebrated on the eighth day of the dark fortnight in Bhadrapad month or on ashtami of Krishnapaksha. Krishna was the eighth son of princess Devaki and her husband, Vasudev, the King of Yadus. The festival is celebrated all over India with great enthusiasm and devotion. This year Janmashtami falls on Thursday, August 25. As Krishna was born at midnight, people stay awake all night and offer prayers. Devotees sing devotional songs, dance to Krishna Bhajan and rejoice. Readings of Bhagvad Gita, the Hindu religious scripture, are also held at several temples.
