Choosing & placing your murti
Choosing the size
Pick a height that suits your altar — a 4–6 inch murti sits beautifully on most home mandirs, while taller pieces anchor a dedicated pooja room.
Kept with care
Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Keep away from water and harsh polish — the finish keeps its lustre for years with a light touch.

A short guide
Janmashtami gifts
Read full guide Show less
Janmashtami marks the birth of Krishna, on the eighth night of the dark fortnight of Bhadrapada, observed with fasting until midnight, the hour of his birth. In homes that keep Laddu Gopal, the infant Krishna, the festival is his birthday, and he is bathed, dressed in fresh poshak and placed in a jhula.
The gifts follow the observance: a Laddu Gopal or Krishna murti, a jhula for the infant, or a Radha Krishna pair. A Shreenathji or Radhe Krishna pocket temple travels well. A flute-playing Krishna suits a household that keeps him in the adult form.
Note that gifting a Laddu Gopal is giving a daily practice, since he is kept and served like a member of the family, so give one where you know that is welcome. For volume, the bulk order enquiry page.

A gift that follows the observance: a Laddu Gopal or Krishna murti, a jhula for the infant, or a Radha Krishna pair. A Shreenathji or Radhe Krishna pocket temple travels well, and a flute-playing Krishna suits a household that keeps him in the adult form.
The festival of Krishna's birth, on the eighth night of the dark fortnight of Bhadrapada, observed with fasting until midnight, the hour of his birth. In homes that keep Laddu Gopal it is his birthday, and he is bathed, dressed in fresh poshak and placed in a jhula.
It is fitting for Janmashtami, but worth knowing that gifting a Laddu Gopal is giving a daily practice, since he is kept and served like a member of the family. Give one where you know that is welcome.
The observance depends on two criteria from the Bhagavata Purana, the Rohini nakshatra and midnight, which Smarta and Vaishnava traditions weight differently. That is why the observed date can differ by a day between communities. Check a panchang for the year.
