Shree Krishna Janmashtami 2024: Janmashtami is the festival celebrating the birth of Lord Krishna and is one of the most vibrant and significant occasions in Hinduism. This year, Janmashtami falls on 26th August 2024, the Ashtami of the Krishna Paksha in the month of Bhadrapada. On this auspicious day, devotees observe fasts, offer prayers and worship the infant form of Lord Krishna. The celebration extends to homes and temples, where large paintings (Jhanki) of Laddu Gopal are prepared. Let us explore the benefits and rules of decorating Krishna painting on Janmashtami.
Benefits of decorating 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 in removing planetary and Vastu defects, thereby bringing happiness and prosperity to the home.
-
For the freedom of 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 favourite items.
-
For good fortune: To increase good fortune, include statues or images of cows and calves in your Jhanki. Also, use Vaijayanti flowers, which are very dear to Lord Krishna, in your decorations.
-
For happiness and prosperity: Incorporating Krishna’s favourite objects in the Jhanki is considered to be highly auspicious. A flute, one of Krishna’s beloved objects, should be placed near the swing or the statue. This ensures peace and removal of all obstacles in the home.
Rules for decorating Jhaanki:
- Avoid using broken or damaged items in your decorations.
- Use auspicious materials like Vaijayanti flowers, Ashoka leaves, mango leaves and banana stems instead of thorny plants, flowers or leaves.
- Avoid using plants such as rubber plant or shvetark, which produce a milky sap.
- According to Vastu, one should avoid placing the Jhanki in the south, west or southwest directions. The northeast direction (Ishan Kon) is considered the most auspicious for placing the Krishna picture.
