About Krishna Janmashtami

Krishna Janmashtami celebrates the birth of Lord Krishna, who is believed to have been born at midnight under the Rohini nakshatra.

How the date is fixed

It is the Ashtami of the dark half of Bhadrapada (Shravana in the amanta calendar), on the night Ashtami prevails at midnight. When the next day has Ashtami at sunrise and Rohini at midnight, that day is preferred. ISKCON and Vaishnava temples sometimes keep it a day later.
