About Janmashtami

Janmashtami is a major Hindu festival that commemorates the birth of Lord Krishna, one of the most revered deities in Hinduism. The celebrations include fasting, devotional singing, and the Dahi Handi tradition where participants form human pyramids to break earthen pots. It is observed with great fervor by devotees across India.
