We’re here to help you with that by compiling a Janamashtmi playlist with some of the best Bollywood songs suitable for this fun-filled occasion.

1. This famous song from the Hindi movie Amar Prem celebrates the mother-son bond between Krishna and his mother Yashoda. Lata Mangeshkar gave her voice to this beautiful composition.

This makes for a beautiful dedication to the little Krishna who has stolen your heart aww.
