This day, which is also known as Gokulashtami and Krishna Janmashtami, is observed to remember Lord Krishna’s birth. The eighth son of Devki, Lord Krishna, was born on the eighth day of the dark fortnight of the month of Bhadrapada, according to mythology (August-September). Hindu texts claim that on this day, Lord Krishna entered the earth as the eighth manifestation of Lord Vishnu and destroyer of evil. The Bhagawad Gita and the Bhagwata Purana, two works of ancient Hindu literature, give a precise account of the birth of Lord Krishna and how his maternal uncle, King Kansa, plotted to have him killed. Since his birth, Krishna Janmashtami has been observed on the eighth day of the month of Bhadrapada, known as Krishna paksha. Additionally, a lot of individuals use this day to celebrate the triumph of good over evil.
The entire country gathers to fervently and enthusiastically commemorate Lord Krishna’s birthday. Kids costumed as Little Krishna markets lined with sweet stores and opulent handis, folks getting ready for the plays (also known as Ras Leela), and temples being decked with flowers are all very regular sights. At Hindu sanctuaries, verse recitations from the Bhagavad Gita and Bhagavata Purana are also held on this day.
