Mark your calendars, Janmashtami 2024 is happening on August 26, the perfect blend of spirituality and celebration!🍭

Janmashtami, one of the most vibrant festivals in India, is knocking on our doors! In 2024, this auspicious occasion will be celebrated on August 26. According to the Vedic Panchang, the Bhado month’s Krishna Paksha Aashtami Tithi begins early in the morning. The auspicious time, or ‘Shubh Muhurat’, starts at 3:39 AM and continues until late night at 2:19 AM on August 27. This year, we have the added magic of the Gajakesari Yoga, believed to bring prosperity and good fortune, enhancing the celebration's festive spirit!

As preparations heat up across the country, Delhi’s temples are radiating with colors and decorations. From the bustling ISKCON temple to the serene Lakshmi Narayan temple, devotees are decked out in festive attire, ready to welcome the birth of Lord Krishna. The air is filled with the excitement and devotion of thousands as they aim to commemorate the life and teachings of this beloved deity. And, not to mention, the preparation of traditional sweets and dishes, including the famous Makhan Mishri - a must-have on every Janmashtami plate!

As you join in the celebrations, don’t forget to share love and greetings with friends and family! Every Janmashtami carries a unique significance, and this year, you can send heartfelt wishes that resonate with the essence of the festival. Whether it's through social media posts, festive gift deliveries, or handwritten notes, the blessings of Krishna are meant to be spread far and wide! Embrace the spirit of this vibrant occasion, and immerse yourself in the stories of Krishna’s mischievous antics as the ‘butter thief’ and his divine play.

And what would Janmashtami be without some fascinating trivia? Did you know that Krishna’s childhood is filled with legendary tales, including his encounter with Kansa? Each story teaches valuable life lessons about love, duty, and righteousness. Additionally, temples often host midnight prayers and dance performances, creating a lively atmosphere where tradition and culture intertwine beautifully. No matter where you are in India, it's an occasion that binds hearts and spirits together!
