Bring Home these Jhulas for Laddoo Gopal This Janmashtami

Janmashtami marks the birth of Lord Krishna and devotees all around celebrate it in the form of a vibrant festival. Many rituals are followed while celebrating this festival such as singing bhajans of Krishna, preparing bhog (offerings) for the god and dancing to his tunes. One of the rituals is to swing the Laddoo Gopal (childhood name of Lord Krishna). This is one of the most significant and auspicious rituals.
