Janmashtami 2025: Will it be celebrated on August 15 or 16? Know the exact date

Janmashtami is one of the most celebrated and joyful Hindu festivals, marking the divine birth of Lord Krishna—the eighth incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Every year, this sacred day brings millions of devotees together across India and around the world. People sing bhajans, fast, decorate temples, and stay awake for midnight rituals when Krishna is believed to have been born. In 2025, Janmashtami will be observed in mid-August. However, there is some confusion about whether the festival falls on August 15 or 16, as the lunar calendar overlaps two days. Let's break down the exact date, auspicious timings (shubh muhurat), and how people across India will celebrate. JANMASHTAMI 2025: DATE CONFIRMED FOR SATURDAY, AUGUST 16 The main Janmashtami holiday in 2025 is Saturday, August 16 This date is officially recognised by the Indian government and most public holiday calendars Some regions, especially those following Smarta traditions, may observe Janmashtami on August 15, but that day also marks India's Independence Day Hence, August 16 is the widely accepted and celebrated date for Janmashtami in 2025. WHY JANMASHTAMI CELEBRATIONS SPAN AUGUST 15 AND 16 The festival is based on the Ashtami Tithi (eighth lunar day) of Krishna Paksha in the month of Bhadrapada In 2025, Ashtami Tithi starts at 11:49 PM on August 15 and ends at 9:34 PM on August 16 Since Lord Krishna's birth is believed to have happened at midnight, the spiritual core of the festival is the night of August 15–16 However, the main public celebrations, temple festivities, and official holiday fall on August 16. SHUBH MUHURAT: EXACT PUJA TIME AND AUSPICIOUS MOMENTS Event Date & Time Janmashtami Holiday Saturday, August 16, 2025 Ashtami Tithi Begins 11:49 PM on August 15, 2025 Ashtami Tithi Ends 9:34 PM on August 16, 2025 Nishita Puja (Midnight) 12:04 AM – 12:47 AM (August 17) Krishna Janma Moment 12:25 AM – 12:47 AM (August 17) Fast Break (Paran) Time After 9:34 PM on August 16 Janmashtami 2025 will be officially celebrated on Saturday, August 16, although the sacred midnight rituals begin late on August 15. While regional traditions may vary slightly, the heart of the celebration lies in devotion, fasting, and midnight puja. For those observing the festival or planning to participate in public events, August 16 is the key date to mark on your calendar. May this Janmashtami bring blessings, peace, and joy to all. - Ends
