Hindus, who observe fast on Janmashtami, should have only single meal a day before Janmashtami. On fasting day, devotees take Sankalpa to observe a day long fast and to break it on the next day when both Rohini Nakshatra and Ashtami Tithi are over. Some devotees break the fast when either Rohini Nakshatra or Ashtami Tithi is over. Sankalpa is taken after finishing morning rituals and the day long fasting begins with Sankalpa.
The time to perform Krishna Puja is during Nishita Kala which is the midnight as per Vedic time-keeping. Hindus perform detailed ritualistic Puja during midnight and it involves all sixteen steps which are part of Shodashopachara (षोडशोपचार) Puja Vidhi. Please check Krishna Janmashtami Puja Vidhi below which lists all Puja steps for Janmashtami along with Vedic Mantra to perform the Puja.
For non-Hindi speakers the first part of the post gives detailed process of Krishna Janmashtami Pujan explained in english language. The second and final part provide information in Hindi for Hindi speakers.

Fasting Rules on Krishna Janmashtami
No grains should be consumed during Janmashtami fasting until the fast is broken on next day after Sunrise. All rules followed during Ekadashi fasting should be followed during Janmashtami fasting also.
Parana which means breaking the fast should be done at an appropriate time. For Krishna Janmashtami fasting, Parana is done on next day after Sunrise when Ashtami Tithi and Rohini Nakshatra are over. If Ashtami Tithi and Rohini Nakshatra don’t get over before Sunset then fast can be broken during day time when either Ashtami Tithi or Rohini Nakshatra is over. When neither Ashtami Tithi nor Rohini Nakshatra is over before Sunset or even Hindu Midnight (also known as Nishita Time) one should wait to get them over before breaking the fast.
Depending on end timing of Ashtami Tithi and Rohini Nakshatra fasting on Krishna Janmashtami might continue for two complete days. Haribhakts who are not able to follow two days fasting might break the fast on next day after Sunrise. It has been suggested by Hindu religious text Dharmasindhu.

He takes avatar during last stages of all Yugas to re-establish morality, virtues, truth and dharma:
Satyug as Bhagwan Narsimha
Tretayug as Bhagwan Ram
Dwaparyug as Bhagwan Krishna
Our age (Kaliyug) as Bhagwan Kalki
The ruler of Mathura, Kansa was one such evil king. A voice from the sky forecasted that Devaki's eighth son will bring an end to Kansa’s rule and will kill him.
Frightened Kansa vowed to kill every child of Devaki and Vasudeva. Seeing their first seven children being killed by the cruel Kansa, the imprisoned couple feared giving birth to their eighth child.
The divine eighth baby took avatar and the day Krishna was born, Vasudeva found himself magically freed from prison. He ran away with the infant to a safer house and Bhagwan Vishnu removed all the obstacles from Vasudeva's path. Vasudeva reached a house in Gokul, exchanged baby Krishna with a new born girl of Yashoda and Nanda and returned to the prison with the girl child.
Later, Sri Krishna tried to avoid the battle despite the provocations by the Kauravas. The war happened in Kurukshetra and it was on the battlefield when Sri Krishna gave the immortal dialogue of the Bhagavad Gita. This aspiring passage also mentioned how one can seek union with the God. The Bhagavad Gita did not require world renunciation but encouraged world acceptance.
The Bhagavad Gita and the life of Sri Krishna played an important role in making spirituality accessible to ordinary people. The central message of Bhagavad Gita and Sri Krishna was for man to take part in desireless action – motivated not by human ego, but for the divine cause.
- Nothing depends on luck, Everything depends on work because even luck has to work! Have a blessed Krishna Janmashtami.
- As a human being puts on new garments, giving up old ones, the soul similarly accepts new material bodies, giving up the old and useless ones, Happy Janmashtami!
- No one should abandon duties because he sees defects in them. Every action, every activity, is surrounded by defects as a fire is surrounded by smoke, Happy Janmashtami!
- Ignorance is the cause of sinful life, and sinful life is the cause of one’s dragging on in material existence, Jai Sri Krishna!
- The mind is restless and difficult to restrain, but it is subdued by practice, Happy Janmashtami!
- Do everything you have to do, but not with greed, not with ego, not with lust, not with envy but with love, compassion, humility, and devotion. Happy Janmashtami!
- The soul can never be cut to pieces by any weapon, nor burned by fire, nor moistened by water, nor withered by the wind. Happy Janmashtami
- May Lord Krishna’s flute invite the melody of love into your life.
- May Radhaji’s love teach not only how to love but to love eternally! Happy Janmashtami.
- If things are happening according to your wish, then you are lucky but if things not happening according to you then it is Krishna's wish. Happy Janmashtami!
- May the Natkhat Nandlal always give you, lot of joy and happiness. Hope you find peace in Krishna's consciousness. Happy Janmashtami!

- I wish you HAPPY Janmashtami and I pray to God for your prosperous life. May you find all the delights of life and may all your dreams come true. My best wishes will always be with you.

There are 8 queens of Bhawgan Krishna. They are - Rukmini, Jambavanti, Satyabhama, Kalindi, Mitravinda, Nagnajiti, Bhadra devi, Lakshana.
Mistaking the sleeping Krishna for a deer, a hunter named Jara shoots an arrow that fatally injures him. Krishna forgives Jara (Bali of Tretayug) and dies. Krishna has to follow Universal principle of earth of taking avatar then leaving it. Bali revenged his death by forcing Krishna (at his will) to leave earth.

Haribhakt Naveen ji jotted down a puja vidhi which are presented here.
Women and men observe fast on Janmashtami and the fast ends in the evening or night after performing puja. The idol of Krishna is worshipped in most of the places whereas the image of Krishna idol is worshipped in few places. Idol of baby Bal Krishna is very important to perform the puja.
