Krishna Janmashtami is also known as Krishnashtami, Gokulashtami, Ashtami Rohini, Srikrishna Jayanti and Sree Jayanthi. According to the Hindu calendar this religious festival "Krishna Janmashtami" is celebrated on the Ashtami of Krishna Paksh or the 8th day of the dark fortnight in the month of Bhadon. Based on scriptural details and astrological calculations the date of Krishna's birth, known as Janmashtami is 19 July 3228 BCE. Most people in India celebrate Krishna Janmashtami based on Lunar Calendar but few temples and some regions in South India observe Krishna Janmashtami based on Solar Calendar. All over India this day is celebrated with devotional songs and dances, pujas, aarti, blowing of the Conch and rocking the cradle of baby Sri Krishna. People do fast on this day and recite the life story and teaching of Sri Krishna noted in the form of slokas in Bhagwad Gita also singing his divine leela.

Lord Krishna is one of the most popular Gods in Hinduism. He is believed to be the ninth incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Lord Krishna was the eighth son born to the princess Devaki and her husband Vasudeva in Mathura city. Lord Krishna was born in Mathura and raised in Gokul by his foster parents Yashoda and Nanda. 

Janmaashtami or Gokulashtami popularly known in Mumbai and Pune as Dahi Handi. During this ceremony a large earthenware pot is filled with milk, curds, butter, honey fruits etc. and is suspended from a height between 20 to 40 feet or above. Young men and boys come forward to claim this prize. They construct a human pyramid by standing over each other's shoulders till the pyramid is tall enough to enable the top-most person to reach the pot and claim the contents after breaking it.
