Radha-Krishna: It’s Lord Krishna’s birthday, so dress both Krishna and Radha in beautiful clothes. Radha is also a part of the puja, so dress the goddess in new clothes as well. Dress them up with ornaments, garlands, and bright clothing. The love story of Radha and Krishna is eternal. So, decorate both the idols with vibrant outfits and flowers.

Re-create Vrindavan Temple: Create a Krishna village scene around the temple. To create the village environment, you can use artificial trees, small houses, cow toys, and other items. Make a rangoli in front of the temple.

Janmashtami Prints: Door hangings are also appealing. These door hangings are usually printed with beautiful Janmashtami prints. You can use them at the entrance to your prayer room to make it look nice from the outside as well. The doors can also be decorated with Krishna images and other materials.

Makhan Matki: We all know that Lord Krishna adores makhan (butter), so it is an essential part of Janmashtami decoration. Take a matki (pot) and paint it vibrant colours. You can also add glass and glitter to it. You can also buy or make a bansuri (flute) at home. Place the matki in your temple and fill it with makhan.

Govardhan Mountain: According to Hindu mythology, the Govardhan Parvat played an important role in Shri Krishna’s life when Indradev was offended, resulting in extremely bad weather. The mountain is regarded as a symbol of protection and a source of necessities. You can recreate the scene simply by constructing a hill out of cardboard or thermocol sheets and place it on the finger of your Krishna idol.
