Janmashtami 2026: Vrat food dos and don’ts; safer fasting options for busy devotees
Ashtami, a celebration of Krishna’s birth, starts on September 4, 2026, and carries over into the following day. Smarta families traditionally fast on the 4th, while those following the Vaishnava tradition observe it later. Acceptable foods for fasting include buckwheat, water chestnut flour, and sabudana, with sendha namak replacing regular salt. Various fasting practices, like Nirjala and Phalahari, offer individuals flexibility in their observance, enriching the experience.
