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

How Guruvayur looked yesterday evening....cuttings from newspaper......

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
