Janmashtami is a festival celebrated in India

Mostly celebrated with pomp and show by the Gujaratis

In the state of Gujarat  which has been celebrated since a week before the day 

Which denotes the enchanting and divine birth of lord Krishna

Who was born in the Dwapar Yug?  

Janmashtami in  India is celebrated  for two days 

At maximum other than  the Gujaratis in Gujarat  

Some celebrate the night when lord Krishna was born in actual

In Mathura, in the jail of kans, from the womb of Devaki

Under heavy rains when the gates of the jail opened automatically and all the guards suddenly fell asleep

While some celebrate the next day when lord Krishna reaches the village Gokul in Nand's house.

In Janmashtami people fast for the whole day and do puja for the birth of lord Krishna

Which means making chhappan bhog  for the puja which means preparing 56 dishes
