Gau Mata (Idol of Cow)
According to Hindu mythology, Lord Krishna has served the cow, known as Gau Mata in Hinduism, since he was a child. Cow’s milk, ghee, and even urine and cow dung are respected in our scriptures as the purest creatures. So, in addition to worshipping Sri Krishna, you can also keep a cow idol.
Butter & Sugar Candy
When he was a child, the lovable, attractive, yet playful Krishna was named ‘Makhan Chor’ because he and his friends would steal butter from villagers’ homes and eat it all! Many women in Vrindavan, where Krishna grew up, started storing the butter in a handi at a height, but this didn’t deter Krishna. Because he adored butter, he and his friends would make a human pyramid to obtain it! The child also enjoyed sugar candy, and that is why makhan-mishri is worshipped on Janmashtami.

Flute
Sri Krishna has been known for playing the flute since he was a child. The flute produces melodious music, and it represents the importance of spreading happiness in our lives, which we want to be as melodic as the music produced by the flute. Because Krishna treasured the flute, you may use that in your puja.
Coriander
In astrology, coriander is connected to wealth. Lord Krishna was known to like coriander, so in addition to coriander-based dishes for prasad, coriander seeds are given to Ladoo Gopal.
