Overview

Krishna Puja for families in Sarnath

Krishna Puja is the worship of Shri Krishna, the eighth avatar of Vishnu, loved as the playful child of Gokul, the companion of Radha and the teacher of the Bhagavad Gita. His worship is rich in bhakti, and many families care for him at home as Laddu Gopal, the infant Krishna.

Sarnath, a few kilometres north-east of central Varanasi, is revered around the world as the place where the Buddha gave his first sermon after enlightenment. Its stupas, monasteries and museum draw pilgrims and visitors from many countries throughout the year.

Planning Your Puja in Sarnath

Rituals are arranged at homes and hotels, not at the Buddhist heritage sites.
Allow extra travel time if you plan to reach the ghats in Varanasi for a sunrise ritual.
Newer houses in the area often have terraces or open space suitable for a small havan.
Hotels here may host international guests; confirm the property allows a puja before planning.
Keep a cradle or jhula, new clothes for the deity, makhan mishri and tulsi ready, or ask for samagri.
Tell us if you are bringing a new Laddu Gopal home.
