Shri Krishna Janmashtami

लड्डू गोपाल के जन्मोत्सव में आप सादर आमंत्रित हैं

Join our neighbourhood family as we welcome our beloved Laddoo Gopal with bhajans, jhulan, bhog, and midnight aarti. Every hand and every voice makes the celebration complete.

Our Celebration

A Home for Kanha, A Family for All

Janmashtami marks the divine appearance of Lord Krishna. This year we gather as one local parivaar to rock the jhula, sing His glories, prepare loving bhog, and celebrate the midnight birth of our little Laddoo Gopal.

Bhajan & Kirtan

Raise your voice in devotion — solo, group, or with your favourite instrument.

Bhog & Prasad

Offer 56 bhog with love. Sign up to cook, bring a dish, or serve prasad.

Midnight Aarti

Welcome Kanha at the stroke of midnight with jhulan, aarti, and jaikara.

Ways You Can Offer Seva

The celebration is built by all of us together. When you register, tell us how you would love to help — no offering is too small in Kanha's eyes.

Sing a Bhajan

Lead or join the kirtan. Let us know if you'd like a slot to sing solo or with the group.

Play an Instrument

Harmonium, tabla, dholak, bansuri, manjira — tell us what you play and bring the music alive.

Prepare Bhog

Cook a sattvic dish, bring sweets or fruit, or help assemble the 56-bhog thali.

Decoration & Setup

Adorn the jhula, string flowers and lights, arrange seating, or help clean up after.

Photography

Capture the memories — candid moments, the aarti, and the little ones in their Kanha outfits.

Something Else?

Dance, storytelling for kids, hosting, coordination — share your idea in the form and we'll make it happen.

Frequently Asked

Do I need to register to attend?

Registration is not mandatory, but it helps us tremendously — we prepare bhog, seating, and prasad based on the count. Please RSVP so no one is left out.

Can I bring my family and friends?

Absolutely! Kanha's home is open to all. Just enter the total number of people in your group when you register, and mention children if any.

I'm keeping the Janmashtami fast (vrat). Will there be phalahar?

Yes. Please tell us in the form how many in your group are fasting so we can arrange falahari (vrat-friendly) prasad alongside the regular bhog.

I have a food allergy / dietary preference. Can you accommodate?

Please note any allergies (nuts, dairy, gluten, etc.) and preferences (Jain, no onion-garlic, vegan) in the form. We'll do our best to label dishes and keep everyone safe.

I'd love to sing or play an instrument — how do I sign up?

Wonderful! In the registration form, choose “Singing / Bhajan-Kirtan” and select the instruments you play. We'll reach out to arrange the kirtan line-up.

Can children take part?

Yes — we encourage little ones to dress as Kanha/Radha and join the jhulan and singing. Mention any kids' activity you'd like to lead in the form.
