Radha Ashtami commemorates the birth anniversary of 'Shri Radha Rani'

Radha Ashtami, also known as Radhashtmi or Radha Jayanti, honours the selfless bond of love shared between Shri Krishna and Radha.

Radha Ashtami is celebrated 15 days after Janmashtmi that commemorates Shri Krishna's birth anniversary. Radha Rani was known to be the avatar of Goddess Lakshmi. It is believed that Radha Rani was born or rather found lying on a lotus leaf in a pond of Barsana. She was picked up by a couple Keerti and Vrishbhanu who did not have a child of their own and adopted her. It is also believed that the little girl didn't open her eyes till Shri Krishna appeared before her. Hindu scriptures describe Radha as Lord Krishna's spiritual energy and whoever observes the Radha Ashtami Vrat (fast) will be blessed with a happy and prosperous life.
