Krishna Jayanthi is one of the famous and most celebrated festivals of Indian people. This celebration is also commonly known as Gokulashtami or Krishna Janmashtami; it is a prominent Hindu festival celebrated primarily by the Hindu community. This celebration marks the birth of Lord Krishna, who is the most beloved and powerful deity in the Hindu pantheon. Even Lord Krishna is considered the eighth incarnation of Lord Vishnu, who is reborn to restore righteousness and peace among humanity for spiritual enlightenment.

His birth took place over 5000 years ago, in the time of Dvapara Yuga. He was born at midnight on the Ashtami (eighth day) of Bhadrapada month. His birth symbolizes the victory of good over evil because his birth is destined to end the tyranny of King Kamsa.

Krishna Janmashtami is a recall of Lord Krishna's teachings about love, devotion, faith, and righteousness, which of all these brings people together as a festival and gives a joyous atmosphere. On this auspicious day, temples and homes are cleaned and adorned with flowers, leaves, and lights. Devotees engage in fasting, singing spiritual songs, dancing, and recitation of the Bhagavad Gita. This celebration instructs and inspires millions of people to learn about the teachings of Lord Krishna.

The sacred pooja starts with the preparation of cleaning the house and pooja space. Then an pooja altar will be set with an idol of Krishna (Bal Krishna). Now the alter will be decorated with divinely beautiful Indian flowers, leaves, and diyas (light lamps), along with a clean white cloth under the alter. As now the pooja will be conducted with every pooja essential, you can purchase all of your authentic traditional Indian and Sri Lankan pooja essentials in Lakshmi Store UK, including flowers, garlands, leaves, incense sticks, and camphor, which will make your pooja a divine full atmosphere. We also got you a wide variety of sweets and snacks, which will be used as a naivedya (food offering for god) and also can be used as prasadam for devotees.
