Janmashtami and Dahi Handi 2024: Bhog To Offer To Lord Krishna Based on Your Zodiac Sign
Ahead of Janmashtami 2024, an astrologer shares what Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces natives should offer as bhog to Lord Krishna.
Janmashtami 2024 is being celebrated on August 26 and this is one of the most revered Hindu festivals, celebrating the birth of Lord Krishna. According to astrologer Jagannath Guruji, "During Krishna Janmashtami, many people fast and worship. It is said that fasting on this day not only fulfils all aspirations but also brings happiness and wealth to the home. It heals sicknesses, imperfections, and ailments, and is especially beneficial to individuals wishing to have children. As a result, if one wishes to pray for Krishna to grant them children, it is strongly advised to follow the Krishna Janmashtami fast."
One of the key aspects of Janmashtami celebrations is the Dahi Handi festival. The astrologer shares, "According to Hindu mythology, Lord Krishna enjoyed makhan (butter), dahi (curd), and other milk products when he was young. Lord Krishna was so fond of milk products such as makhan and dahi that he would steal them from his neighbours. As a result, he became known as "Makhan Chor".
The astrologer shares insights on offerings that one should make to Lord Krishna depending on their zodiac sign.
