As you prepare to celebrate Lord Krishna’s birthday on August 26, 2024, here is a list of his favourite foods. Since it’s his birthday, devotees should be offering him food that he cherishes the most.
Lord Krishna is bathed in milk, curd, honey, and gangajal which are later used to create panchamrit and distributed among devotees.
You can also offer ladoo as prasad to Lord Krishna. Coconut and boondi are considered among the popular choices.
Lord Krishna’s favourite food is makhan mishri. According to mythology, he used to steal it with his friends. He will bless you if you offer him this delight.
Using fox nuts, prepare a delicious batch of kheer. You can not only make it a part of the prasad but also consume it while fasting on Janmashtami.
