A fact from this article was featured on Misplaced Pages's Main Page in the On this day section on 13 dates.

Date of Janmashtami ?

When is Janmashtami ? Can someone confirm the date, please ? theholidayspot.com says August 26, but 123greetings.com says August 27. I am quite confused. -- PFHLai 20:16, 2005 August 24 (UTC)

According to Gaurabda Calendar, a Vaishnava calendar service by ISKCON, the date in 2005 is 26 August.--Shruti14 12:11, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

Today is 30 August and today is Janmashtami so I guess it changes...? WikiSilky (talk) 08:23, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

Article Title

Nichalp,

Do not move the page to that entitled just "Janmashtami" - - Krishna Janmashtami or Krishnaashtami are more correct terms, obviously; Janmashtami as referring to the birth of Krishna is a colloquialism that assumes that no other great person was ever born on an "Ashtami". In any case, the redirect from the "Janmashtami" page will ensure proper referencing from other pages -Anon

You have a point, I've undone your copy-paste edits and redirected to Krishna Janmaashtami to maintain the history. =Nichalp «Talk»= 05:32, August 26, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks

Many thanks from the Tatar Misplaced Pages, we translated the materials of your article.--A.Khamidullin (talk) 14:33, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
