Janmashtami Memories Fuel Sonakshi Batra’s Creative Drive

Janmashtami, the celebration of Krishna’s birth, awakens vivid childhood recollections for Sonakshi Batra. She described how her family would decorate the house, prepare special prasadam, and lovingly dress the Laddu Gopal idol in tiny clothes and flower garlands. Her mother’s sweet kheer and a dollop of butter were always offered, filling the home with aroma and devotion. “Those simple customs turn a festival into a lasting treasure of warmth and joy,” Batra said, adding that the memories continue to inspire her artistic journey.
