We cordially invite you and your family to participate in the Sri Krishna Janmashtami celebrations and receive the blessings of Sri Radha Shyamasundara on this most auspicious occasion.
— HG Satya Gaura Chandra Dasa, President, Hare Krishna Movement Tirupati
Janmashtami marks the divine appearance of Lord Sri Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Scriptures describe His birth at midnight in Mathura, and the joy of Nanda Maharaja and the Vrajavasis the following day.
Hare Krishna Movement Tirupati observes the day with kirtan, readings, abhisheka, naivedya, and nityannadana so families can hear the holy names and honour prasadam together.
Srila Prabhupada appeared the day after Janmashtami. On 5 September 2026 the temple also celebrates Nandotsava and his appearance.
Come with your family for darshan, kirtan, and prasadam.
