Choose designs with Krishna, flutes, matki and peacock feathers, and add a photo of your decorated jhula or mandir.
Set the bhajan start, jhula darshan and midnight aarti time, plus whether phalahar or prasad will be served after.
Track adults and children as plus-ones, helpful when kids arrive dressed as Krishna and Radha for the celebration.
Send a reminder on the day so guests plan for a late night and arrive before the midnight aarti.
RSVPs for the whole family. Guests reply in one tap, and you see the headcount for your janmashtami gathering instantly.
Collect RSVPsOn Ocvite, select a Janmashtami template with Krishna or peacock feather artwork. Edit the greeting, add the date, bhajan start time, midnight aarti and your address, then share the link on WhatsApp or email. Guests RSVP online and you see the response list instantly.
Include the bhajan or kirtan start time, the expected midnight aarti, the venue with a map and whether prasad or a phalahar meal follows. If children are invited to dress as Krishna or Radha, say so. Mention parking and the late finish for families travelling back.
About one to two weeks ahead works for most home celebrations. Temples and ISKCON centres draw large crowds that night, so friends appreciate knowing early if you are hosting at home. Send a reminder in the afternoon so guests rest and plan for the late hours.
Ask each family to RSVP with their headcount, including children. Ocvite shows attending, not attending and maybe responses in real time, so you can prepare enough panjiri, panchamrit, makhan mishri and fasting snacks without running short at the midnight celebration.
Krishna is believed to have been born at midnight, so the main puja, abhishek and aarti happen then. In Maharashtra and parts of North India, the next day brings dahi handi, where teams form human pyramids to break a curd pot. You can host either or both.
