Krishna Janmashtami also known
simply as Janmashtami, is an annual Hindu festival, celebrated the birth of
Krishna, the eighth avatar of Vishnu. It is observed according to Hindu
luni-solar calendar, on the eighth day (Ashtami) of the Krishna Paksha (dark
fortnight) in the month of Shravana, which overlaps with August and September
of the Gregorian calendar.
It is an important festival
particularly to the Vaishnavism tradition of Hinduism. Dance-drama enactments
of the life of Krishna according to the Bhagavata Purana (such as Rasa lila or
Krishna Lila), devotional singing through the midnight when Krishna is believed
to have been born, fasting (upavasa), a night vigil (jagarana), and a festival
(mahotsava) on the following day are a part of the Janmashtami celebrations. It
is celebrated particularly in Mathura and Brindavan, along with major Vaishnava
communities found in Chattisgarh, Madhya
Pradesh , Manipur, Assam, West Bengal, Odisha, , Rajasthan, Gujarat,
Maharashtra, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and other regions. Krishna
Janmashtami is followed by the festival Nandotsav, which is celebrated the
occasion when Nanda Baba distributed gifts to the community in honour of the birth.
Our cute cherubs of DPS-JC and
DPS Kids also celebrated Krishna Janmashtami. It was well organized from
Nursery to class 1. Our little kids dressed up well in such a way the costume to
represent as exactly as Krishan and Radha and it gave more vitality and ebullience
among the kids as well as for teachers. The celebration started with Puja which
was done by Mr. Upadhayay. Kids also got chance to exhibit magnificent group
dances as part of this celebration. The special day was so delightful, charming
and gorgeous for both kids as well as teachers of DPS_JC and DPS Kids.
