According to the Vedic Panchang, Ashtami Tithi will begin from 9:21 pm on August 18 and will end at 10:59 pm on August 19, 2022 so Janmashtami will be celebrated on both days while the Nishith Puja time begins from 12:02 am on August 18 and ends at 12:48 pm on the same day.
Janmashtami celebrations have begun, with everyone observing getting all-set for this auspicious day. The Dahi Handi ritual every Janmashtami is an imitation of Krishna’s naughtiness as during his growing up years in Vrindavan, Krishna loved makkhan (white butter), curd and milk and would often steal butter from people’s homes and his foster mother, Yashoda, would have to tie him up to stop him from his mischievousness.
Krishna has been referred to as Maakhan Chor or Navneet Chor due to these events. The women in Vrindavan hence, started storing freshly-churned butter at a height where the young Krishna would not be able to reach the pot however, young Krishna had his ways.
With his friends, he would form human pyramids and be able to take the butter, meant to be hidden from them. Today, the youngest boy who climbs to the top of the pyramid is referred to as Govinda and the groups are referred to as handis or mandals.
Devotees usually observe day-long fasts on the occasion, sing bhajans in praise of the Krishna, participate in Dahi Handi celebrations and emulate the birth of Krishna through ceremonies in temples where he is welcomed each year.
