Janmashtami 2025 celebrates the birth of Lord Krishna, uniting the nation in spiritual joy. Northern India embraces Raslila plays, while the West revels in Dahi Handi competitions. Down South, Udupi marks the occasion in September, honoring Krishna through elaborate temple rituals, chariot processions, and devotional songs. This difference in timing reflects the town’s adherence to traditional Madhwa practices, offering a unique perspective on one of India’s most cherished festivals.
