Love for Lord Krishna is unconditional. Hindu devotees worship all forms of Lord Krishna, the most adorable one being his childhood form (Bal Swaroop) known as Laddu Gopal. In this avatar, Laddu Gopal is worshipped in a baby form and is believed to be one among the family members. The joy of dressing, offering, caring and embracing Laddu Gopal is purely magical.

Devotees from around the world dress their little Laddu Gopal every single day and treat him just like their own child. Seva is an integral part of worshipping Lord Laddu Gopal. For generations, sages describe how one should perform ashtayam seva for Sri Laddu Gopal and how one should perform Shringaar and dress Lord as per hour, day and occasion.

In several temples of Shri Dham Vrindavan, Krishna’s shringaar is performed after every 4 hours, and in some temples, it is done after every hour. Laddu Gopal  ki dress is a sight to behold in many temples of Vrindavan for devotees. In the morning hours, before the pooja is conducted, the devotees bathe him and perform his shringaar. Once Laddu Gopal ji Shringhaar is done, the pooja starts and all the devotees line up to admire the mesmerizing look of Lord Krishna.

In Hindu culture, colours play a very important role and have deep significance, transcending purely decorative values. According to Hindu Mythology each day of a week has a presiding god of its own. Hindus use colours on deities and their dresses depending on the days of the week. Devotees dress up Laddu Gopal, in the same way, to remain connected with the planets and increase their prosperity.
