Nepal Celebrates Krishna Janmastami
A Nepali girl with makeup as Radha poses for a photo in Lalitpur, Nepal, on August 16, 2025. Lord Krishna, regarded as the 8th reincarnated form of Lord Vishnu, is believed to be born at midnight on the eighth day of the dark moon of August, which is also known as Ashtami. The 17th-century Krishna Temple, which stands tall among the temples in the World Heritage Site, is thronged by thousands annually on the birth anniversary of Lord Krishna. The Krishna Temple was opened after renovation in 2018, as it sustained minor damages due to the devastating earthquake of 2015, which claimed the lives of thousands of people and caused massive structural damage to the heritage sites of the Himalayan nation. Lord Krishna, the dark-skinned god revered as a manifestation of Lord Vishnu, also teaches the warrior Arjuna the value of Karma in the Bhagavad Gita and is born at midnight on the eighth day of the dark moon of August, known as Ashtami. Known for his charm and fascinating nature, devotees claim they come to the temple following the footsteps and directives of Lord Krishna. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
