Janmashtami pooja vidhi involves celebrating Lord Krishna’s birth with the following steps: clean and decorate the puja area, place an idol of baby Krishna in a cradle, and fast until midnight. Begin the pooja by lighting a lamp, offering fruits, sweets, butter, and milk to the deity, and performing “abhishek” by bathing the idol. Dress and adorn the idol, perform aarti with a lit lamp, and sing devotional songs. Celebrate Krishna’s birth at midnight with singing, dancing, and prasad distribution, concluding with prayers and bhajans. Visit Bhaktvatsal.com for more information.
