What is Krishna Puja?

Loving worship of Shri Krishna, often as Laddu Gopal or with Radha, most celebrated on Janmashtami with midnight abhishek and aarti.

A Pandit can perform Krishna Puja at your home or hotel with panchamrit abhishek, shringar, tulsi archana and aarti, including the midnight birth celebration on Janmashtami.

Why Families Choose Varanasi for Krishna Puja

Varanasi lies on the route many pilgrims take to Vrindavan and Mathura, and Krishna bhakti blends naturally with the city's Shaiva devotion.

Families who keep Laddu Gopal often like a Pandit to perform the first abhishek and pran pratishtha when bringing the deity home.

2Ganesh Pujan and sankalp. Ganesha is worshipped first, then the Pandit takes the sankalp with the family's names, gotra and intention.
3Avahan. Shri Krishna is invoked into the idol or Laddu Gopal with Vedic and Puranic mantras.
4Panchamrit abhishek. The deity is bathed with milk, curd, ghee, honey and sugar, then with Ganga jal, often at midnight on Janmashtami.
5Shringar and offerings. Krishna is dressed in new clothes, adorned with a peacock feather and flute, and offered tulsi, flowers, chandan, makhan-mishri and other bhog.
6Mantra, path and bhajan. Mantras, the Gopal Sahasranama or selected Bhagavad Gita verses are recited, along with bhajans and kirtan.
7Aarti and jhoola. The family sings the Krishna aarti, gently swings the cradle and shares prasad such as panjiri and panchamrit.
