Janmashtami festival is on 26th August. On this day, Lord Krishna, the incarnation of Lord Vishnu, was born in Mathura. Krishna's entire life shows you the way to walk on the right path and teaches many things. Janmashtami festival is celebrated every year to celebrate his birthday with pomp and show. On this occasion, the house is decorated. Laddu Gopal, the child form of Krishna, is adorned. Also, the temple of the house is decorated like the birthplace and childhood home of Lord Krishna, which is called a tableau. The prison of Mathura and the streets of Gokul are shown in the tableau of Janmashtami. Apart from this, scenes of his cow, butter, playing flute on the hood of Sheshnag, or lifting Govardhan mountain on his finger are decorated. If you are also making a great tableau of Janmashtami at home, then you can adopt some methods.
Decorate Kanha's seat or swing
The charming pastimes of Kanha are shown in the tableau of Janmashtami. Wherever you decorate the seat or swing of Bal Gopal, you can decorate his cow, cowherds, etc. near it. Janmashtami special toys made of clay or plastic are available in the market.
Matki and butter
Keep or decorate a small pot in the temple, in which butter can be kept. If Kanha likes butter, then decorating a pot of butter in the tableau can be an easy and interesting way.
Show greenery
Kanha used to take cows and goats for grazing with his cowherds in the forests of Gokul Vrindavan. Get your Bal Gopal born amidst that greenery and natural scenery. Decorate plants in small pots around the temple. Decorate the temple with garlands of flowers. The Janmashtami tableau will look more attractive on a green background.
