In devotion, music, and colors, the holy towns of Mathura and Vrindavan alive with divine celebrations every year on Krishna Janmashtami—the birth of Lord Krishna, the eighth avatar of Vishnu. In 2025, Janmashtami will be observed on 16 August (Saturday), with Ashtami Tithi being considered auspicious from 3:33 AM on 16 August till 2:26 AM on 17 August. The spiritual high, Nishita Puja or Midnight Aarti, shall be held from 11:59 PM to 12:45 AM, which is the very time of Lord Krishna's Divine descent.

From Raslilas and Dahi Handi to midnight abhisheks in old temples, it all is happening in Braj Bhoomi.
