Asha,
I was really surprised when North Indians celebrated Janmashtami on Pooruruttathy, not Rohini. Rohini is the birth star of Krishna

Really good to see many small children dressed like Lord Krishna and celebrate this day.Many places they break the pot.

Janmastami is celebrated for the birth of Krishna.In Mathura and Vrindavan it is celebrated widely.People from far off comes to see this puja.In Dwarka also it is celebrated grandly.

We had two Janmastmi as discussed in the forum. :unsure: If you know kindly clear the doubt why is Lord Krishna's birthday celebrated on a different day in the south?

Live in the present :)

Normally, it differs by 1 day..this year only it differs by a month.
It's so sad that no one was able to clear this doubt....

Wait for me...
I want to post a few pictures of the procession that I watched that evening, before this thread is locked!!1
