Unique coincidence of 30 years on Janmashtami
This year's Krishna Janmashtami is going to be very special because many wonderful yogas are being formed simultaneously. After years, the festival of Krishna Janmashtami is being celebrated in Rohini Nakshatra. According to the Puranas, Lord Krishna was born in Rohini at 12 midnight on the eighth day of Krishna Paksha of the month of Bhadrapada. This time Krishna Janmashtami is falling in Rohini Nakshatra only. So this is a rare coincidence. Apart from this, Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga is being formed on 06th September for the whole day on Ashtami Tithi. At the same time, during this yoga, there will be a combination of Moon Taurus and Rohini Nakshatra. Such a rare coincidence is happening after 30 years.

When to celebrate Krishna Janmotsav 6 or 7 September?
Every year, the people of the household and Vaishnava people celebrate the festival of Janmashtami separately as Lord Krishna Janmashtami, the birth anniversary of Lord Krishna. On the first day of Janmashtami, householders celebrate while on the second day, Vaishnavs i.e. sages, saints, and Mahatmas celebrate. In this way, householders will celebrate Janmashtami with enthusiasm on 6th of September and Vaishnav people on the 7th of September. After decorating Lord Krishna on Janmashtami, it is considered auspicious to offer Makhan, Mishri, and other food items by applying Tilak of Ashtagandha, sandalwood, Akshat and Roli.
