Janmashtami or the birth of Lord Krishna is celebrated with great fanfare in India. The Vaishnava God is a central figure in Hindu mythology. According to legends, Lord Krishna was born in a dark dungeon on a rainy Shravan night on the eighth day (Ashtami) or the dark fortnight (Krishna Paksa). His birth was ordained by the gods. Lord Vishnu incarnated as Krishna to end the reign of evil. Known for his intelligence, benevolence and charisma, Lord Krishna is revered greatly in Hinduism. Janmashtami or Gokulashtami that celebrates his birth is, therefore, one of the biggest festivals in India, especially in Mathura where he was born. On the festival of Janmashtami 2019, which falls on the date August 23-24, it’s a custom to wish near and dear ones with Gokulashtami greetings, wishes and stickers. In the age of social media, devotees also pay obeisance to their favourite lord by uploading Janmashtami WhatsApp DP and status messages.
