These funds will be utilized to cover the following aspects of the festival:

Prasad

Every year we invite skilled chefs who prepare nutritious Indian preparations. The preparations then get offered to Lord Krishna. These meals are then distributed freely to everyone throughout the day. The overall cost for this is 10.000 euros.

Pushpa

Flowers are so important to any function. They symbolize beauty, divinity and grace. On the Janmastami festival day we decorate the altar as well as the temple with many flowers. The cost for the flowers is 5.000 euros.

Abhishek

On this auspicious day, Lord Shri Krishna gets an elaborate bath by expert Brahmins with different items such as yoghurt, honey, ghee, and chandan. The costs for this is 1008 euros.

Dipa

Make your prayer by offering a special candle to Lord Shri Krishna. To cover facilitating this the costs are 1008 euros.
