Janmashtami is a time of joy, devotion, and vibrant celebrations. As we honour the birth of Lord Krishna, our festive outfits become more than just what we wear — they become a part of the celebration itself. This year, make your look truly special with the timeless elegance of Chikankari from Ada Chikan.
Whether you’re attending a temple ceremony, hosting a pooja at home, or joining a lively cultural event, Ada Chikan’s pieces — from graceful sarees to breezy kurtas and kurtis — will keep you stylish, comfortable, and rooted in tradition.
In 2025, Janmashtami falls on Saturday, August 16, marking the birth of Lord Krishna on the Ashtami Tithi of Krishna Paksha in Bhadrapada Muhurat. The sacred **Nishita Puja (midnight puja), believed to be the exact divine birth moment, is observed from approximately 12:04 AM to 12:47 AM on August 16.
The Ashtami Tithi begins at 11:49 PM on August 15 and ends at 9:34 PM on August 16, with devotees traditionally keeping a fast throughout the day and breaking it after the midnight rituals.
