Janmashtami
Sri Krishna Janmashtami Festival
Krishna Janmashtami this year is celebrated on 4th September, 2026. Devotees of Lord Krishna celebrate this auspicious festival by keeping fast, night-sankirtans, holding bhakti events, etc. Sri Krishna’s devotees celebrate this day to express their love for Lord Krishna.
Though Krishna Janmashtami is celebrated worldwide, It is chronicled with the most enthusiasm in the ISKCON temple. The appearance of Lord Krishna is significant. Krishna’s Janam Leela is divine and sacred. The reason for the advent of the Supreme Lord is to end the cruelty of evil Kansa and give the pleasure to the devotees.
Lord Krishna appeared in the prison of Mathura at midnight on the eighth day of Krishna paksha to Mother Devaki and Vasudeva. That night was remarkable. During the manifestation of Lord Krishna, all the places were irradiated to portray the Advent of the Supreme Lord.
On this most auspicious day of Lord Sri Krishna’s divine appearance, we humbly pray to Lord Krishna to shower Their causeless mercy and blessings upon all of us—and to engage us in loving devotional service at Their lotus feet.
This year, we’ve lovingly prepared a special Janmashtami festival filled with devotion, celebration, and joy, to give you and your family an unforgettable spiritual experience.
JOIN US as we celebrate the birth of the Supreme Lord with kirtan, abhishek, dahi handi, cultural activities, dramas, prasadam, and much more!
