Krishna Birth Story -

In Krishna charitas, Krishna is born to Devaki and her husband, Vasudeva of the Chandravanshi clan.

Devaki's brother is a tyrant named Kamsa. At Devaki's wedding, according to Puranic legends, Kamsa is told by fortune tellers that a child of Devaki would kill him. 

Kamsa arranges to kill all of Devaki's children. When Krishna is born, Vasudeva secretly carries the infant Krishna away across the Yamuna and exchanges him. 

When Kamsa tries to kill the newborn, the exchanged baby appears as the Hindu goddess Durga, warning him that his death has arrived in his kingdom, and then disappears, according to the legends in the Puranas.

Krishna grows up with Nanda and his wife Yasoda near modern-day Mathura. 

Two of Krishna's siblings also survive, namely Balarama and Subhadra, according to these legends.

The day of birth of Krishna is celebrated as Krishna Janmashtami.
