When do you celebrate Krishna Jayanthi?

Traditionally it is celebrated around midnight as that's the time lord Krishna was born but in our home, we do poojai in the late evening.

Legs for Krishna

We draw Krishna's footprints from the entrance of the house to the pooja room in rice flour slurry to welcome lord, Krishna. I draw in my entrance  but since my pooja room is the carpet I keep the stickers
