News Topical, Digital Desk : This year the holy festival of Shri Krishna Janmashtami (Krishna Janmashtami 2025) will be celebrated on Saturday, 16 August 2025. As this auspicious day is approaching, the atmosphere of joy and devotion is becoming more intense among the devotees. From temples to homes and courtyards, preparations for the decoration and offering of Laddu Gopal are in full swing.

According to religious belief, on this day devotees offer special decorations and favourite bhogs to Lord Krishna. At many places, the tradition of offering fifty-six bhogs to Kanha is also followed. Let us know, what bhogs can be offered to Laddu Gopal this Janmashtami, so that he becomes happy and showers his blessings on his devotees.

Butter and Mishri- The Infinite Love of Bal Gopal

It is mentioned in Shrimad Bhagwat and Puranas that Nandlal Shri Krishna was very fond of stealing butter since childhood. He used to break the pot of butter in the houses of the gopis and eat it with great love and also distributed it among his friends and monkeys. Butter is considered a symbol of purity, simplicity and affection, while sugar candy is a symbol of sweetness and love.

Offering sweet sugar candy along with fresh, white butter made at home on Janmashtami not only pleases Lord Krishna but also brings peace, love and joy in the life of the devotee. It is believed that this offering brings happiness and positive energy in the house.

Malpua- sweet memory of Radha-Krishna love

Malpua holds a special place among Indian sweets and is considered a symbol of love and hospitality. According to traditional belief, Malpua made by Radha Rani was the favourite of Lord Krishna. Flour, milk, cardamom, fennel and ghee are used to make Malpua, which are fried in desi ghee and dipped in sugar syrup. Its taste is so divine that it is called the 'King of Bhog'.

On the night of Janmashtami, when the birth anniversary of Laddoo Gopal is celebrated, offering Malpua is believed to bestow the Lord's special blessings on his devotees and fill their lives with sweetness and prosperity.

Kheer- a symbol of purity and prosperity

The tradition of offering kheer to Lord Krishna is centuries old. This sweet made from milk, rice and sugar is considered a symbol of purity, prosperity and good wishes. It is said that in Dwarka, Rukmini ji herself used to lovingly make kheer and feed it to Lord Krishna. The white color of milk is a symbol of purity and the perfection of rice is a symbol of prosperity.

On the night of Janmashtami , when devotees celebrate the birth anniversary of Bal Gopal with great emotion , offering hot kheer decorated with cardamom, saffron and nuts brings good luck and happiness in the life of the devotee. It is believed that by offering kheer, there is no shortage of food and money in the house and the special blessings of Lord Krishna remain on the family.
