Today we will be discussing some of these Janamashtamu decoration ideas for home which are not only easy and elegant but will also bring your family closer. Let’s look at them.
1. Rangoli Designs
Rangolis are the best Janmashtami decoration ideas at home. All you need is some colours. While you can buy them at your local stationery, you can also make them with rice and flowers. Create them at your entrance in myriad patterns – traditional, abstract, geometric, mandala. They welcome guests in a festive mood. Choose designs such as peacock feathers or flutes.
2. Fairy Lights
Fairy lights are a fantastic Janmashtami decoration idea. You can either use a single colour all over (blue, yellow, green) or a mix of them. Drape them around doorways, windows, and walls. If you have used a floral toran or centrepiece, fairy lights will look immaculate in them.
3. Krishna Footprints
Since Janmashtami is the birth of Krishna, you must decorate your home with Krishna footprints leading to the main altar or temple area. These footprints symbolize the omnipresent nature of Krishna. Use coloured powder, stickers, or simply paint on the floor.
4. Bal Gopal Idol Setup
For our next Krishna Janmashtami decoration idea, create a ubiquitous ‘bal gopal’ idol setup, within the temple area. You can make it out of clay yourself, or buy it from an artisan. Dress the idol in his signature ‘poshak’ with flowers, beads, and tassels. Place the idol on a decorative pedestal or a beautifully arranged thali.
5. Krishna ‘Jhula’ Decoration with Chocolate
A swinging ‘jhula’ decor is a staple with Janmashtami decoration ideas for home representing Krishna’s naughty yet lovable ways. Decorate a small swing with colourful fabrics, flowers, and fairy lights. Fun fact! Krishna jhula decoration with chocolate will ensure that the kids are in the temple.
6. Dahi Handi
The Dahi Handi is a popular tradition where a pot of curd is hung high, and devotees form a human pyramid to break it. This popular Janamashtmi decoration idea takes inspiration from Krishna’s determination to steal butter, hence named ‘makhan chor’ (butter thief). Incorporate a mini Dahi Handi setup, using a decorated pot and hanging it in a safe area. Ensure to paint the plastic or clay pot.
7. Peacock Feathers
Peacock feathers are closely associated with Lord Krishna and add a touch of regal beauty to your decorations. Use them to create stunning centrepieces or to decorate the swinging ‘jhula’ decor and the area around the Bal Gopal idol. Peacock feathers’ effortless, colourful, and graceful appearance is a peek aesthetic.
