Radha Ashtami Vrat katha

According to ancient Hindu scripture, Padma Purana, Goddess Radha Ashtami, is mentioned as the daughter of king Vrishabhanu Gopa and Kirti. One day, the king discovered Radha in the shape of Dharti while cleaning the area for organising the yagna. The king adopted and nurtured the young girl as his daughter.

When Lord Vishnu took his Krishna avatar, he requested other family members to incarnate on Earth, and Vishnu’s wife Lakshmiji came to Earth as Radha, as mentioned in religious texts.


Radha was Shri Krishna’s companion, according to the Brahma Vaivarta Purana. Earlier, she was married to some other person, but once she became an adult, goddess Radha accepted Shri Krishna as her spouse.

Bring peace and prosperity in life by performing personalised live Vishnu Puja.

Radhashtami Celebrations Across India

On this occasion, Hindus decorate the idols of Shri Radha and Lord Krishna with a new dress and fresh flowers. Also, the temple is decorated with bright, colourful flowers that spread their fragrance everywhere. 

Devotees listen to the devotional songs composed by Vaishnava gurus and sing the glory of Sri Radharani. Thousands of devotees gather at the Shri Krishna temple to get a glimpse of Lord Krishna and Radhaji. Devotees pour holy water on the idols and offer milk, curd, ghee, honey, and jaggery.

They also keep juices of fruits like musk, apple, watermelon, pineapple, pomegranate, orange, sweet lime, papaya, grapes etc. at the feet of idols. Later, they conclude the puja after performing aarti and showering flowers on them. Devotees and saints prepare Chappan Bhog for Hindu deities in the well-known temples of India and seek divine blessings from them.

Ending Note

Our prayers are incomplete if we fail to invoke goddess Radha while worshipping Lord Krishna. Radhastami is the auspicious time to worship both Radha and Krishna to get their divine blessings. On this note, before signing off, we wish you a Happy Radhastami in advance.
