Onion and Garlic should not be used in food on this day, because garlic onion is kept in the tamasic category. Meat and liquor should not be consumed. It is believed that Lord Krishna loves animals; he was especially very fond of cows.

We draw feet of Krishna from outside the entrance to poojaroom using rice flour batter or paint. We can also make small feet in cardboard and place it as if he is entering.

Peacock feathers are favourite for Krishna and also flute. Both can be placed in Pooja room with a nice background .
