The festival is usually celebrated on Ashtami Tithi, the 8th day in the Dark Half, or Krishna Paksha, the name given to the month Bhadrapada according to the Hindu calendar, which is the month when you can see that Rohini Nakshatra is in the ascendency.

One time, he heard the voice of the sky saying that Devaki's eighth child would be the one to kill him. After hearing the voice from the sky, she was imprisoned by her sisters Devaki and Vasudeva in prison. King Kansa executed six kids of Devaki, and the seventh was miscarried.

The eighth child of Devaki is Lord Krishna. Lord Vishnu instructed Vasudeva to bring the newborn Lord Krishna to Gokul in the home, Yashoda and Nanda's home, to ensure his safety. At the moment of his birth, all personnel in the jail were able to sleep throughout the night.

Then Vasudeva calmly took the baby Krishna to Yashoda's home and later took her newly born daughter to prison.

Krishna Janmasthami aarti lyrics in Hindi

आरती कुंजबिहारी की,

श्री गिरिधर कृष्ण मुरारी की ॥

आरती कुंजबिहारी की,

श्री गिरिधर कृष्ण मुरारी की ॥

गले में बैजंती माला,

बजावै मुरली मधुर बाला ।

श्रवण में कुण्डल झलकाला,

नंद के आनंद नंदलाला ।

गगन सम अंग कांति काली,

राधिका चमक रही आली ।

लतन में ठाढ़े बनमाली

भ्रमर सी अलक,

कस्तूरी तिलक,

चंद्र सी झलक,

ललित छवि श्यामा प्यारी की,

श्री गिरिधर कृष्ण मुरारी की ॥

॥ आरती कुंजबिहारी की...॥

कनकमय मोर मुकुट बिलसै,

देवता दरसन को तरसैं ।

गगन सों सुमन रासि बरसै ।

बजे मुरचंग,

मधुर मिरदंग,

ग्वालिन संग,

अतुल रति गोप कुमारी की,

श्री गिरिधर कृष्णमुरारी की ॥

॥ आरती कुंजबिहारी की...॥

जहां ते प्रकट भई गंगा,

सकल मन हारिणि श्री गंगा ।

स्मरन ते होत मोह भंगा

बसी शिव सीस,

जटा के बीच,

हरै अघ कीच,

चरन छवि श्रीबनवारी की,

श्री गिरिधर कृष्णमुरारी की ॥

॥ आरती कुंजबिहारी की...॥

चमकती उज्ज्वल तट रेनू,

बज रही वृंदावन बेनू ।

चहुं दिसि गोपि ग्वाल धेनू

हंसत मृदु मंद,

चांदनी चंद,

कटत भव फंद,

टेर सुन दीन दुखारी की,

श्री गिरिधर कृष्णमुरारी की ॥

॥ आरती कुंजबिहारी की...॥

आरती कुंजबिहारी की,

श्री गिरिधर कृष्ण मुरारी की ॥

आरती कुंजबिहारी की,

श्री गिरिधर कृष्ण मुरारी की ॥
