About Janmashtami
Hindus commemorate Krishna Janmashtami in honour of the birth of Lord Krishna. According to the Hindu calendar, Janmashtami is celebrated on Bhadrapad’s Krishna Paksha Ashtami. It is also referred to as Janmashtami, Krishnashtami or Gokulashtami.
This year Janmashtami will be celebrated on 7th September, Thursday.
How is Janmashtami Celebrated
Janmashtami is celebrated in various ways in different parts of the country.
For instance, in Mathura, the city where Sri Krishna was born, as well as Gokul and Vrindavan, the places where he spent his formative years, it is celebrated by people by indulging in Ras lilas. Ras lilas are plays that are performed to highlight Lord Krishna's life.
Dahi handi, where a pot of curd is suspended at a height and groups of people attempt to reach it and smash it by constructing human pyramids, is the festival's centrepiece in Maharashtra.
People also observe a full-day fast, breaking their fast only after midnight, when it is believed that Lord Krishna was born.

Dhoti & Accessories
Nothing better than your child wearing a colourful dhoti to celebrate Krishna Janmashtami. Choosing a pre-made dhoti saves you the hassle of tying one on a wriggly child. Watch as your infant turns into an alluring Krishna with a dash of colour and a few accessories, radiating exquisite charm and winning hearts at every glimpse. A cute nazaria will give me him the perfect baby look.
Flute & Peacock Feather
It's impossible to imagine a Krishna without his flute. Don't forget to include a flute and a peacock feather to complete the enchanting Janmashtami look. These finishing touches give the outfit an appealing and genuine charm. But bear in mind to pick a secure and kid-friendly flute. To ensure that the feather remains in place throughout the joyous celebrations, attach it firmly to the crown or sash. Let your little Krishna enchant everyone with their charming demeanour and the charm of these adorable accessories.
Accessorise with Handi
The name "Makhan Chor" is a common way to refer to Lord Krishna. Kanha is offered Makhan-Mishri on Janmashtami. So you also need a pot of butter to dress up your kid as Krishna. A lovely clay pot may be purchased from a pottery shop and can be made to resemble butter by filling it with light yellow-white cotton.
Mukut Or Crown
Krishna's "mukut," or crown, is another essential element of his look. Crowns are easily accessible on the market. Avoid settling for a low-quality crown since it could hurt your baby's delicate skin. You can also prepare a Krishna Mukut at home using cardboard and some colours.
Tilak
Another essential element of the Krishna look is the "tilak," which is applied to the forehead. It has a spiritual significance and completes the appearance. Applying any additional cosmetics could harm a baby's sensitive skin, thus it should never be done. Additionally, refrain from putting kohl or eyeliner on your child's eyes. An ethnic kurta for baby and a tilak give a complete Krishna look to your baby.
