Vrindavan, the sacred land where every particle resonates with Lord Krishna’s love, devotion, and grace, will come alive in Jaipur’s Gupt Vrindavan Dham this Janmashtami. Rejoicing the moment to welcome Krishna’s arrival, the dham has been transformed into a ‘Krishnamay’ abode, where devotees will feel as though they are truly welcoming Lord Krishna in person.
On the auspicious day of Krishna Janmashtami, Yashoda Nandan will be adorned in Navratna during the Mangala Aarti. His attire, intricately embroidered with zardosi work, has been specially crafted in Vrindavan. Lord Shri Krishna and Balram will be beautifully decorated with sevanthi flowers brought all the way from Karnataka. The entire temple premises has been adorned with flowers sourced from across India, while vibrant, colorful lights are illuminating the complex to welcome the divine.
At the stroke of midnight, during the Maharaati, Nandlala will be ceremonially anointed. As the moment of Krishna’s appearance arrives, devotees — eyes filled with tears of devotion — will eagerly gaze upon Him, offering prayers and seeking blessings. The atmosphere will resound with the chanting of the Hare Krishna Mahamantra and thunderous cries of Jai Shri Krishna, as love and devotion fill every corner of Gupt Vrindavan Dham.
More than two lakh devotees are expected to visit the dham for darshan throughout the day. In coordination with the administration, robust security arrangements have been put in place to ensure a safe and joyous celebration.
