Krishna Janmashtami 2021 Date: According to mythological beliefs, Lord Krishna was born in Ashtami tithi and Rohini nakshatra of Krishna paksha of the month of Bhadrapada. Sri Krishna Janmashtami or Sri Krishna Jayanti is celebrated every year on this date. Janmashtami is celebrated on this day, especially in Mathura. However, Janmashtami is celebrated in Sri Krishna temples across the country. In temples and houses, people celebrate the birth anniversary of Bal Gopal and observe fast. Childless couples especially observe the vow of birth. They observe this fast with the wish of a child-like Bal Gopan Krishna. This year, Sri Krishna Janmashtami is on Monday, 30th August. Let us know about the muhurat, date, and fasting time of Janmashtami puja.

Sri Krishna Janmashtami 2021 Date
According to the Hindu calendar, the Ashtami date of the Krishna side of the month of Bhadrapada begins at 11.25 pm on Sunday, August 29. The date will conclude at 01.59 pm on Monday, 30th August. Lord Krishna was born at night and the date of rising for fasting is valid, so this year the holy festival of Sri Krishna Janmashtami is on 30th August.

Janmashtami 2021 Puja Muhurat
The muhurat of Sri Krishna Janmashtami puja is from 11.59 pm to 12.44 pm on August 30. On this day, the birth anniversary of Bal Gopal will be celebrated at midnight. You will get a total of 45 minutes of auspicious time to worship Bal Krishna on this day.

Janmashtami 2021 Paran Samay
People who fast on Janmashtami mainly fast throughout the day and take prasad after the birth of Bal Gopal Sri Krishna at night and at the same time take food and observe the fast. However, in many places, the next morning is passed. In this case, you can pass after 09.44 am on 31st August as Rohini nakshatra will conclude at this time itself.

Rohini Nakshatra begins at 06.39 am on 30th August, which will conclude at 09.44 am on 31st August. Dahi Handi will be held on 31st August, the next day of Janmashtami.
