Janmashtami 2024: Give Your Home A Spiritual Makeover

1. Stunning Pooja Mandir Setup: The pooja mandir is central to your Janmashtami décor. Elevate its appearance by adorning it with colorful flowers, shimmering drapes, and a small swing (jhoola) for Baby Krishna. Enhance the look with peacock feathers and a gold or silver backdrop to add a festive yet divine touch. (Image Source: Pinterest/thebloomdesigner)

2. Entrance Gate Extravaganza Create a grand entrance by hanging floral torans made from marigold and beads. You can also design a Krishna-inspired rangoli at the doorstep featuring flutes, peacock feathers, and lotus motifs, setting the festive tone for your guests. (Image Source: Pinterest/neha111989)

4. Matki Decorations for an Ethnic Touch Matkis that symbolizes Krishna’s love for butter adds traditional appeal to your décor. Paint them bright colours or wrap them in vibrant embroidered fabrics. You can also hang them using coloured ribbons or string lights for unusual looks. To give your pooja area a festive yet ethnic touch, cluster these decorated matkis together or use them as centerpieces. (Image Source: Pinterest/its_amna)

5. Rustic Wooden Lamps and Candle Holders For more earthy and natural lighting choose wooden lamps or carved wooden candle holders instead of diyas that are usually used traditionally. The wooden lanterns have beautiful shadow patterns created by intricate cut-outs as they give off warm rustic glow. These must be placed in your pooja mandir, entrance or sideboards to produce cozy yet divine atmosphere around the space.(Image Source: Pinterest/etsy)
