Since you have already begun the preparation to celebrate Janmashtami on August 26, 2024, you should primarily focus on what to offer as prasad. According to ancient texts, Lord Krishna was fond of makkhan and milk-based sweets. Here are some that must be a part of the festive spread.
The tales of Lord Krishna stealing makkhan are not new. Add mishri to white butter and offer it to God. He will be impressed and bless you.
Prepared with condensed milk and milk powder, peda is a popular sweet in Mathura. Its varieties are a part of Janmashtami bhog.
In many regions like West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, and more, rasgulla is also offered to Lord Krishna. It is spongy, delicate, and delicious.
Makhana kheer is prepared for Janmashtami. It is a completely fulfilling meal that fasting devotees can also relish.
Made from thickening milk, rabri is also an ideal milk-based dish that should be a part of prasad on Janmashtami. Garnish it with nuts before offering it to God.
When you are talking about milk-based sweets, you cannot forget sandesh. The Bengali will surely please Lord Krishna.
Kalakand boasts a grainy texture and tastes delicious. It is popular among Lord Krishna’s devotees and often a part of Janmashtami bhog.
