Krishna Janmashtami is the birthday of Lord Krishna, the eighth avatar of Vishnu, who Hindus believe was born at the stroke of midnight in a prison cell in Mathura to Devaki and Vasudeva, under the shadow of the tyrant king Kansa. Observed on the Ashtami of the waning moon in Bhadrapada, it falls on 4 September Protected content . Devotees fast through the day, keep vigil until midnight, then bathe and cradle an image of the infant Krishna while temples fill with bhajans and the aarti of the newborn.

There will be plenty of food to purchase plus Prashad which is complementary food they are giving away.
