The worship of Lord Krishna in the form of Baal Gopal or a small child is called the Santam Gopalam Puja. It is performed by those couples who are desirous of having children and those who are expecting a child and wish for their child to be blessed with intelligence and good health. After performing this puja as described in the Vedic texts, a couple is not only blessed with a healthy child but also with wealth, material gains and prosperity.
