Krishna Janmashtami, the festival celebrating the birth of Shri Krishna, is known by various names such as Shri Krishna Jayanti, Janmashtami and Gokulashtami. This is an important festival in the Hindu calendar.

Singing bhajans like Jai Kanhaiya Lal Ki, Madan Gopal ki, devotees offer prayers to Lord Krishna. They also chant mantras of Lord Krishna. They decorate cradles for the Lord Krishna.
