This fasting festival of Shri Krishna Janmashtami is one of the major fasting festivals of Hinduism. Lord Shri Krishna was born at midnight on Ashtami Tithi.
This fast festival is celebrated only on the occasion of his holy birth anniversary. On this day women and people of Vaishnav sect observe fast and worship Lord Shri Krishna.
Although this festival is celebrated all over India, but in Mathura and Vrindavan it is celebrated a lot. On the day of Maha Janmashtami, tableaux of Lord Shri Krishna are taken out and Dahihandi competitions are organised.
