Janmashtami Vrat Time 2025: Fasting Details

On Janmashtami, many devotees observe a strict fast from sunrise until midnight, the believed time of Krishna’s birth. Some break the fast the next morning after sunrise, while others wait until the Ashtami tithi or Rohini nakshatra ends. During this fast, only fruits and light satvik meals (known as phalahaari) are consumed.
