Janmashtami or Krishna Janmashtami is one of the most important festivals of the Hindus. The day marks the birth of Lord Krishna who is the eighth carnation of Lord Vishnu. The day falls on the eighth day (Ashtami) of the Krishna Paksha (dark fortnight) in the month of Shravana. This year, the festival will be celebrated on August 30. For those unversed, Lord Krishna was born to Vasudeva and Devaki at midnight and therefore the celebration takes place for two days. People celebrate with dance performances and dramas and some even memorize Raas Lila or Krishna Lila. Bhajan and devotional songs are also marked important since the Krishna-Bhakts play them for two days during various events that are held like Dahi Handi.
Bollywood has a list of songs based on not just Janmashtami but also Lord Krishna. Not only this but the Bhojpuri industry too has a number of tracks especially curated for the auspicious occasion.
