Janmashtami, the vibrant festival celebrating Lord Krishna’s birth, fills hearts with devotion and joy. For Deepika Singh, the beloved actress portraying Mangal in COLORS TV’s hit show Mangal Lakshmi, this festival is a cherished blend of nostalgia, spirituality, and celebration. From her childhood in Delhi to her bustling life in Mumbai, Deepika’s connection to Krishna and Janmashtami remains a constant source of inspiration.

Crafting Childhood Memories with Jhaankis

Growing up in Delhi, Deepika’s Janmashtami celebrations were filled with creativity and family bonding. She vividly recalls the excitement of creating jhaankis, intricate tableaux depicting Krishna’s divine leelas. “My siblings and I would scour markets for tiny toys and mold clay to recreate scenes from Krishna’s life,” she shares. These homemade displays transformed their home into a vibrant reflection of Vrindavan, drawing neighbors and friends to admire their handiwork. For Deepika, these moments of crafting and storytelling remain a treasured part of her childhood.

Embracing the Festive Spirit in Mumbai

Now settled in Mumbai, Deepika’s love for Janmashtami has only deepened. While her surroundings have changed, the festival’s essence remains unchanged. She actively participates in Dahi Handi events organized by an NGO for underprivileged children. “Watching the kids form human pyramids and cheering them on is so uplifting,” she says. Presenting the winners with trophies brings her as much joy as if she had won herself. At home, the festive mood is elevated as her devrani lovingly decorates their Thakur ji (Lord Krishna idol), creating a warm, spiritual ambiance.

Balancing Devotion and a Busy Career

Despite her demanding schedule filming Mangal Lakshmi, Deepika ensures her devotion to Krishna shines through. For the past decade, she has performed an Odissi dance as an offering to Lord Krishna during Janmashtami. “It’s my way of connecting with Him,” she explains. This year, she hopes to carve out time to record a performance, weaving her passion for dance into her hectic routine. Deepika credits Krishna’s blessings for the success of Mangal Lakshmi, which has won the hearts of audiences nationwide.

Janmashtami: A Celebration of Love and Divinity

For Deepika, Janmashtami is more than a festival—it’s a celebration of love, faith, and the divine presence in everyday life. Whether it’s through crafting jhaankis, cheering at Dahi Handi events, or expressing her devotion through dance, she embodies the playful and soulful spirit of Krishna. Her journey reflects the universal appeal of Janmashtami, a festival that unites people through devotion and joy.

As Deepika continues to inspire through her role in Mangal Lakshmi and her heartfelt celebrations, her story reminds us that Janmashtami is about carrying Krishna’s love in our hearts, no matter where life takes us.
