Across temples and homes, devotees marked Krishna Janmashtami 2025 with vibrant celebrations, midnight prayers, and cultural performances honoring the birth of Lord Krishna. From Mathura to Mumbai and Vrindavan to Varanasi, the air was filled with chants of “Jai Shri Krishna” and the rhythmic beat of devotional songs.
On August 16, 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended warm greetings to the nation on the occasion of Krishna Janmashtami. In a heartfelt post on X (formerly Twitter), he wrote:
He posted in Hindi:
“सभी देशवासियों को जन्माष्टमी की असीम शुभकामनाएं। आस्था, आनंद और उमंग का यह पावन-पर्व आप सभी के जीवन में नई ऊर्जा और नए उत्साह का संचार करे। जय श्रीकृष्ण!”
The Prime Minister did not attend any public events but used social media to connect with citizens and emphasize the spiritual significance of the festival.
In Mathura, Uttar Pradesh, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath reaffirmed the government’s commitment to restoring sacred sites like Vrindavan, Barsana, and Govardhan as official ‘Teerths’. Temples were adorned with flowers and lights, while children dressed as little Krishnas stole hearts in local processions.
