A small tableau of a scene from Krishna's story, built on a table or stage with figures, cloth and lights.

How do the three settings differ?

The home corner is small, with marigold garlands on a cream wall. The school stage is large, with painted scenery and paper flowers. The temple is set on marble between carved pillars, with brass bells.

Are these instructions for building one?

No. They show finished jhankis to see the look. They are not step-by-step builds.

Can I ask for a different scene?

Yes. Type the scene you want and the same settings are used. The result is a request, not a promised match.

The jhanki a family or a temple builds for Janmashtami: a small tableau of Krishna's story with clay figures, cloth and lights. The three tableaux are Krishna's flower-decked cradle, Vasudeva carrying the baby across the Yamuna under the hood of Sheshnag, and the village of Gokul with clay cows and a Govardhan hill. Each is shown in a home corner, on a school stage or in a temple hall. Type a different scene to draw it in the same settings.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
