Krishna Janmashtami altar setup

A unique way to celebrate the event and create a sacred area for prayer and devotion is to set up an altar in honour of Krishna Janmashtami. Here are a few original and considerate suggestions for arranging a Krishna Janmashtami altar:

·???????? Charming Centrepiece: Position an exquisitely carved Krishna statue or image in the middle of the altar. Select a look that complements your interior design and tastes. To draw attention to the Krishna statue, use fairy lights, morpankh and gold embellishing basuri.

·???????? Flower Arrangements: Using fresh flowers like marigolds, roses, or jasmine, create magnificent flower arrangements. To embellish the altar, arrange them in artistic pots or make garlands. Using vibrant flower petals, create a pookalam (flower carpet) in front of the altar.

·???????? DIY Bal Krishna’s Swing: To create a cosy look and add a sense of personalisation, DIY bal gopal jhula at home. A handmade jhula adds charm and devotion to your decor, making the celebration even more special.

·???????? Candle Chandeliers: To give a sense of elegance and tradition, use candelabras or chandeliers made of candles. These can be positioned over the altar or in the centre.
