As the name suggests, Krishna Janmashtami or Gokulashtami is celebrated on the Ashtami Tithi in the Hindu month of Bhadrapada. To celebrate the day, Krishna temples across the country often organize special Krishna Janmashtami events by prepping idols of Balkrishna, offering aartis and abhisheka to this idol and placing it on a swing as devotees sing aartis and songs to appease the almighty. In addition to this, people often observe the Janmashtami fast - where they only eat one meal in the entire day. Janmashtami fast is often broken on the next day or when the Rohini Nakshatra appears during Krishna Janmashtami.
