Janmashtami Events in Canberra
Janmashtami, also known as Krishna Jayanti, celebrates the birth of Lord Krishna and is a joyous occasion for the Indian community. In Canberra, two exciting events are set to bring people together in celebration.
The Hindu Temple & Cultural Centre of the ACT hosts a wonderful range of activities, from all-night pooja and bhajans to engaging children's competitions. Families can enjoy a mixed-media colouring competition, while those seeking a more traditional experience can partake in the midnight celebrations at the temple. These events foster a sense of community and connection, allowing everyone to partake in the festivities and honor the spirit of Janmashtami together.
