Janmashtami is one of the most loved festivals for devotees of Lord Krishna. On this day, people decorate their homes, prepare sweets and prasad, sing bhajans and spend time praying to Krishna. One of the main parts of the festival is the vrat. Many devotees do not eat during the day and wait for midnight, which is believed to be the time when Krishna was born. Janmashtami 2026 will be celebrated on September 4. If you are keeping the vrat this year, knowing a few basic rules can help you follow the day without getting confused.
