Shree Krishna Janmashtami 2024: Janmashtami is the festival that celebrates the birth of Lord Krishna and is one of the most vibrant and significant occasions in Hinduism. Observed on the Ashtami of the Krishna Paksha in the month of Bhadrapada, this year, Janmashtami will be celebrated on August 26, 2024. On this auspicious day, devotees observe fasts, offer prayers, and worship the child form of Lord Krishna. The celebration extends to homes and temples, where grand tableaus (Jhanki) of Laddu Gopal are prepared. Let's explore the benefits and rules of decorating Krishna’s tableau on Janmashtami.


Benefits Of Decorating The Jhanki On Janmashtami:


In Hinduism, Janmashtami is not just a festival but a grand celebration that fills our lives with positive energy and removes negativity. The tradition of decorating the Jhanki on Janmashtami is more than just a ritual; it offers several benefits. This practice helps eliminate Vastu and planetary defects, bringing happiness and prosperity to the household.




  • For Freedom from Kaal Sarp Dosh: Decorating the Jhanki with peacock feathers is believed to provide relief from Kaal Sarp Dosh. You can place peacock feathers on Krishna's crown or swing, as peacock feathers are one of Krishna’s favorite items.




  • For Good Fortune: To enhance good fortune, include statues or images of cows and calves in your Jhanki. Additionally, use Vaijayanti flowers, which are dear to Lord Krishna, in your decorations.




  • For Happiness and Prosperity: Incorporating Krishna’s favorite items in the Jhanki is considered most auspicious. A flute, one of Krishna's beloved objects, should be placed near the swing or statue. This ensures peace and the removal of all obstacles in the household.




Rules For Decorating The Jhaanki:



  • Avoid using broken or damaged items in your decorations.

  • Use auspicious materials like Vaijayanti flowers, Ashoka leaves, mango leaves, and banana stalks instead of thorny plants, flowers, or leaves.

  • Avoid using plants like Rubber Plant or Shvetark, which produce milky sap.

  • According to Vastu, avoid placing the Jhanki in the south, west, or southwest directions. The northeast direction (Ishan Kon) is considered the most auspicious for setting up the Krishna tableau.
