The auspicious time to celebrate Janmashtami is from 12:20 am to 1:05 am at midnight on August 18 (technically August 19). The duration of the shubh muhurat for puja will be 45 minutes.
Janmashtami is celebrated every year, especially in Mathura, which is the birthplace of Lord Krishna, and Vrindavan, where Krishna spent his entire childhood. One of the rituals followed on Janamashtami Dahi handi.
