Happy Janmashtami 2020 Wishes Images, Status, Quotes, Messages, Photos: Janmashtmi, which is celebrated with a lot of fervour, marks the birth of Lord Krishna, who is also believed to be the 8th avatar of Lord Vishnu. Born to Devaki and Vasudeva, it is said that he took birth to protect those staying in Mathura from the wrath of King Kansa.

On the auspicious occasion, people enact dance-dramas based on the life of Krishna according to Bhagavata Purana, sing devotional songs throughout midnight and fast through the day. The most noteworthy celebrations take place in Mathura and Vrindavan, besides other parts of the country. A prominent ritual which requires forming a human pyramid, known as dahi handi, is also synonymous with the celebrations. The person on the top breaks an earthen pot which is placed at a significant height. Temples are decorated and devotees pray on this auspicious day.
