🌸 Janmashtami 2025 – Significance
Shri Krishna Janmashtami marks the divine birth of Lord Krishna, the 8th avatar of Vishnu. Celebrated on the eighth day (Ashtami) of Krishna Paksha in the month of Bhadrapada, devotees observe fasting, sing bhajans, and wait till midnight (Nishita Kaal) to perform the Janmotsav of Laddu Gopal.
💡 Why important? Krishna’s birth is symbolic of the victory of dharma over adharma, light over darkness.
