What the day is
Born at midnight, in a prison, to parents who could not keep him. The tradition puts its most joyful figure's birth in the least joyful place on purpose.
How to keep Krishna Janmashtami
One act for the day
Stay awake past midnight if you can, and sing. Feed children who are not yours.
The day, for London
The day is chosen by the moment the tradition reads its tithi at, and the times are that day's own, computed for this city. A festival-specific puja window is not printed: those rules differ by tradition and await a scholar's review.
