The leader of the Shashi Tharoor Congress on Sunday, August 17, asked why Keralits did not celebrate Janmashthi on August 16. In the paper on X, Tharoor said: “Yesterday 16th August 2025 (Saturday) was celebrated as Bhagwan Sri Krishna #janmashthi across India across India -“
He mentioned that “Malayalalam calendar shows this year’s date Janmashthami on 14 September 2025 (Sunday), not yesterday.”
Tharoor asked people to “illuminate” him why. “Certainly Bhagwan (God) cannot be born on two different days six weeks apart!” Said.
“There is a reason for rationalizing data of religious holidays so that all adherents can celebrate with their fellow believers at the same time? After all? Noted Tharoor.
Tharoor gets the answer
The User X explained Tharoor why Janmashthami in Kerala fell on a different date than the rest of the country.
He said: “Most India follows the Purnimanta calendar (a lunar month ending with a full moon) or an amanta calendar (a lunar month ending with a new month) to determine the festival terms.”
“Janmashtami, celebrating the birth of Lord Krishna, is observed on the eighth day (Ashtami) Krishna Paksha (running the phase of the moon) in the month of BhadraPad or Shravany, depending on the region,” he added.
The user X further explained that in Kerala along the lunar calculations, the “Malayalam calendar (solar calendar) and local traditions also prefer a specific astrological configuration of Rohini Nakshatra (a star associated with Krishn birth) or precise timing by timing and the presence of Rohan)) and the presence of Ronar)) and the presence of Rohan) and the presence of Rohan) and the presence of Rohan) and the presence of Rohan) and the presence of Rohan) and the presence of timing) and the presence of Rohani) and the presence of timing) and the presence of timing) and the presence of timing) and the presence of timing) and the presence of timing) and the presence of timing) Because it is believed that Krishna was born at midnight. ”
“In Kerala, the presence of Rohini Nakshatry, along with Ashtami Tithi, is mandatory to determine the date of birth of Krishna, while in other countries it is not so,” he added.
Most parts of the country celebrated Janmashthi on August 16.
