4. Krishna Makeup Look

All you have to do is apply a Kasturi tilak on your child’s forehead using fresh Chandan paste and some kumkum. And  Kajal if needed for the eyes. And make some homemade Janmashtami decorations at home for photos. As you take photos you will have a cute baby Krishna around the house walking.

5. Flute

Krishna is incomplete without a flute, so after you have fixed the outfit and the jewelry, make sure you hand a flute to your child. If you do not have a flute you can wrap some golden paper and beads on a small piece of stick and give it to your child and the Krishna costume for the boy will be completed.

6. Mud Pot

Last but not least, just like the flute, this is also an important part of the whole look. Little Krishna is like the Makhan Chor or the butter thief, so prepare a small mud pot filled with butter for your very own little Krishna. You can implement this for taking photos at home for Janmashtami with the kid.
