What Janmashtami is
Krishna’s birth, kept at midnight with a fast, bhajans and the cradle, and the next day with dahi handi — abroad, the temples’ biggest night of the year, from Bhaktivedanta Manor to every ISKCON centre.
If it is your first one
- The midnight aarti is the moment; arrive early — the big temples fill by nine and the car parks close.
- A day’s fast until midnight is traditional, with fruit and milk allowed; the temple serves prasad after the aarti.
