Makhan Matka

Every year, Janmashtami arrives with the sweet taste of makhan, the soft sounds of bhajans and the aroma of sandalwood. It is the holy night when Lord Krishna, the eighth avatar of Vishnu, was born to bring wisdom, love and justice to the world. Families in India decorate their homes, fast all day and pray and celebrate the birth of Krishna at midnight. Chants and dramatic reenactments of Krishna’s leelas fill temples, while homes are filled with love, colour and happiness.

Janmashtami is not only about old traditions but also about reconnecting with faith and bringing good luck into your life. Setting up a puja corner with a handmade Krishna idol, handmade puja items and a handmade matka for the symbolic offering of makhan and mishri is one of the most beautiful ways to celebrate this
