Dhaniya Panjiri Bhog on Janmashtami:
On Janmashtami day, Kanha Ji is given a special offering called Dhaniya Panjiri. This offering has a special significance. Dhaniya Panjiri is one of the most beloved offerings of Kanha Ji, so it is presented as Prasad on this day.
This Bhog is not only offered at home but also in all the temples dedicated to Lord Krishna. After offering the Bhog, this Prasad is distributed among the people. It is believed that consuming this Prasad ensures the blessings of Lord Krishna on his devotees. Devotees also break their fast (Vrat Paran) by consuming this Prasad on this day.
Other offers on Janmashtami:
Along with Dhaniya Panjiri, Makhan (butter) is also an essential offering to Lord Krishna. Makhan and Misri (crystallized sugar) are Kanha Ji’s favourites. On this occasion, a variety of 56 delicacies (Chhappan Bhog) are offered to Lord Krishna. Dhaniya Panjiri is considered especially beneficial during the monsoon season and is very healthy. The birth anniversary of Kanha Ji is a big festival, which is celebrated not only in India but all over the world.
