According to Hindu mythology, Krishna, the human incarnation of Lord Vishnu, was born on this day to destroy Mathura's demon king, Kansa, the brother of Krishna's virtuous mother, Devaki.
Krishna Janmashtami marks the birth of Lord Krishna and is celebrated on the eighth day of the dark fortnight in the month of Bhadrapada (July-August) in India.
India is a diverse country with many festivals that are celebrated throughout the year. One of these festivals is Janmashtami - the day Lord Krishna was born - and is observed with much pomp and fervor.
