How can I create a complete Janmashtami pooja setup at home?

To create an auspicious Janmashtami setup at home, start with a clean and decorated pooja space or mandir. Place your Laddu Gopal idol on a beautiful Singhasan or Jhula. Dress Him in new clothes — usually cotton, silk, or brocade dresses. Adorn Him with jewellery like tiny crowns, necklaces, and bangles. Add flutes (bansuri) for His hands. Decorate the area with flowers, lights, torans, and diyas. Sing bhajans, chant mantras, and offer homemade sweets like Makhan and Mishri, which Krishna loved. Many devotees also perform a midnight pooja to mark His birth and swing Him gently in His Jhula while singing lullabies.
