Janmashtami 2021: Wishes, messages to share on festival that celebrates birth of Lord Krishna

The much-awaited festival of Krishna Janmashtami, also known as Gokul Ashtami, will be observed and celebrated on 30 August this year by Hindus across the country. The occasion marks the birth of Lord Krishna, the eighth avatar of Lord Krishna. According to Hindu mythology, Lord Krishna was born on this day to kill his cruel uncle and Mathura’s demon king - Kansa. Every year , Krishna Janmashtami is celebrated in the month of Bhadrapada on the eighth day of the dark fortnight. On this day, devotees pray to Lord Krishna by observing a fast. The temples are beautifully decorated with lights, colourful flowers, and diyas. In the temples of Vrindavan and Mathura, the festival is celebrated continuously for days in a grand way.
