Jhulan Yatra 2025: The annual grand swing festival - Jhulan Yatra is set to take place from 5th August to 9th August 2025. This special event is celebrated every year during the Hindu month of Shravan to commemorate the divine and playful pastimes of Lord Krishna and Radha Rani. Swings are set up in temples dedicated to the divine couple, and the idols and pictures of Radha Rani and Krishna are placed together on those beautifully decorated swings or Hindola. According to the scriptures, Radha Rani loved to play on beautifully decorated swings during the monsoon season. Along with her consort Krishna, Radha Rani engaged in this divine pastime, which later started being celebrated as Jhulan Yatra.
In all the iconographies of Radha and Lord Krishna on a swing, the joy of the deities seems infectious, and their love shines brighter, creating a picturesque scene of tender affection and playful leelas. However, do you know that it is highly auspicious to hang this image in one’s home as per the Hindu legends and the principles of Vastu Shastra? Bringing such an image to the home might help invite good fortune, peace and harmony in relationships.
Below is the list of incredible benefits of hanging the image of Radha Rani and Lord Krishna joyfully swinging on a beautiful swing at your home:
Why You Should Hang Radha Krishna Swinging Picture In Your Home
- Invokes Divine Joy And Emotional Harmony
Hanging an image of Radha Rani and Lord Krishna joyfully swinging infuses the space with a sense of divine happiness and emotional balance. Their expressions of carefree love radiate joy that subtly influences the emotional atmosphere of the home. For families, it can uplift the collective mood, promoting harmony, affection and understanding.
- Enhances Spiritual Ambience And Devotional Connection
This divine image fosters a deeply spiritual atmosphere that encourages regular reflection and devotion. The sight of Radha Rani and Lord Krishna in their most playful and loving form reminds the viewer of the blissful aspects of devotion (bhakti). Hanging such an image can become a focal point for daily prayers or meditative practices, strengthening one’s connection to the divine.
- Attracts Positive Vibes and Auspicious Energy
According to Vastu and many traditional beliefs, bringing home the images of deities in playful harmony, like Radha and Krishna on a swing brings positivity, grace and good fortune into the household. Such artwork is thought to attract sattvic (pure and harmonious) energy, which enhances peace and abundance. The swinging motion also symbolises progress and movement in life, subtly encouraging flow and evolution within the family dynamic. It is believed to dissolve stagnant or negative energy, replacing it with vibrant and joyful vibrations that uplift the mind and spirit.

- Encourages Love, Compassion And Understanding In Relationships
Hanging the joyful image of Radha Rani and Lord Krishna on a swing in a shared space subtly influences interpersonal relationships, inspiring expressions of affection, patience and mutual respect. Such art deepens emotional understanding, making the home a place where love feels safe, free and expressive.
Ideal Direction To Place Radha Rani And Lord Krishna Painting On Swing According To Vastu Shastra
According to Vastu Shastra, the most ideal direction to place a beautiful image of Radha Rani and Lord Krishna joyfully swinging is the North-East corner of your home, known as the Ishan Kon. This sacred direction radiates spiritual energy and invites divine love, harmony and peace into the space. If North-East isn’t possible, placing it on the East or North wall is also considered auspicious. Ensure the image shows joyful expressions and is not kept in the bedroom or near bathrooms. Keep the surrounding area clean, perhaps with fresh flowers or a small diya to maintain a serene and devotional ambience.
