Shashi Tharoor questions Kerala’s different Janmashtami date
While most of India celebrated Janmashtami on August 16, Kerala will observe the occasion on September 14. Congress MP Shashi Tharoor took to X, asking why Kerala marks Janmashtami later. "Surely even a Bhagwan can't be born on two different days six weeks apart! Shouldn't festival dates be rationalised so everyone can celebrate together?" he quipped.
