Panchang for Friday, 4 September 2026

Krishna Janmashtami

Marks the birth of Krishna, kept on the eighth tithi of the dark fortnight of Shravana.

How the date is set: Krishna Paksha Ashtami of Bhadrapada in the Amanta reckoning; the Smarta rule prefers the day on which Ashtami, with Rohini, prevails at midnight.

Regional note: Smarta and Vaishnava traditions sometimes keep Janmashtami on consecutive days, so some listings show a second date.

Date verified against Drik Panchang, Office Holidays.
