Mathura and Vrindavan follow the North Indian purnimanta calendar. Many temples here observe Janmashtami on the Vaishnava date, which can be a day after the Smarta date shown first.
Well-known temples: Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi Temple, Mathura, Shri Banke Bihari Temple, Vrindavan, Dwarkadhish Temple, Mathura, ISKCON Krishna Balaram Mandir, Vrindavan, Prem Mandir, Vrindavan.
Holi in Braj runs for over a week, with Lathmar Holi at Barsana and Nandgaon and Phoolon wali Holi in Vrindavan, and Janmashtami midnight celebrations draw pilgrims from across India.
Rahu Kalam is a period of about 90 minutes each day that Hindu tradition considers unsuitable for starting new work. It is one of eight equal parts of the daytime, and its position depends on the weekday.
They are other daily periods traditionally avoided for new beginnings. Yamaganda and Gulika are also one eighth of the daytime each, and Durmuhurtam is one or two short muhurtas that vary by weekday.
