Janmashtami Prep with Kids: Chaos, Krishna, and a Lot of Makhan

Janmashtami falls on August 16, 2025, and in our home, it’s a day of stories, songs, sweets, and just the right amount of toddler-induced chaos. From decorating baby Krishna’s jhula with far too many flowers, to midnight puja after a full-day fast, to cleaning up butter smears and marigold trails—celebrating with kids is equal parts devotion and delightful mess. This year, we’re embracing it all with laughter, laddus, and a whole lot of Good Juju.
