Flower

You can use fresh flowers to decorate the palna/jhoola or the temple at your home. However, if you do not have fresh flowers, artificial flowers would also serve the purpose. You can also create a garland out of the flowers.

Flute

Lord Krishna is believed to have a special love for flute. So if you decorate your temple with the flute, it will make a lot of difference. Also, you can decorate the flute with colour papers.

Rangoli

A beautiful Rangoli will take your decoration to the next level. You can make a Rangoli in front of the temple with colour powder or flowers in front of the palna.

Use of Diyas and lights
