Every year, millions of devotees around the world gather to celebrate Janmashtami, the birth of Lord Krishna, the eighth avatar of Lord Vishnu. This sacred Hindu festival is not just a spiritual milestone — it’s a reminder of the eternal values of love, courage, and dharma that Krishna embodies.

At Holy Masterpieces, we honor this divine occasion with a curated collection of fine art prints and canvases that depict the life and glory of Lord Krishna.

What is Janmashtami?

Janmashtami, also known as Krishna Janmashtami or Gokulashtami, marks the birth of Lord Krishna, who was born over 5,000 years ago in Mathura. He appeared at midnight on the eighth day (Ashtami) of the waning moon in the Hindu month of Bhadrapada (August–September).

Krishna's life is filled with miraculous events and timeless wisdom — from his childhood pranks and divine flute playing to his role as the charioteer and spiritual guide of Arjuna in the Mahabharata.

Fasting and midnight vigils to mark the divine hour of Krishna’s birth

Chanting of bhajans (devotional songs) and recitation of the Bhagavad Gita

Reenactments of Krishna’s life, especially his childhood, known as Leelas

Temple visits, where idols of baby Krishna are adorned and worshipped

This sacred day is also a time for introspection, spiritual connection, and devotion to truth and righteousness — values that Krishna exemplified.
