Most
people in India celebrate Krishna Janmashtami based on Lunar Calendar
but few temples and some regions in South India observe Krishna
Janmashtami based on Solar Calendar. In most years these dates don't
differ by one or two days but in some years Janmashtami date based on
Lunar Calendar and Janmashtami date based on Solar Calendar might differ
up to one month.
In Kerala, Tamil Nadu and in some parts of
Karnataka, Krishna Janmashtami is popularly known as Ashtami Rohini and
is observed based on Solar Calendar.
Two famous temples, Udupi
Sri Krishna temple in Karnataka and Guruvayur Guruvayurappa temple in
Kerala celebrate Krishna Janmashtami as Ashtami Rohini based on Solar
Calendar.
Ashtami Rohini is also known as Sri Jayanthi and Gokulashtami. ==
