One of the most significant festivals in the Hindu calendar, Govardhan Puja is celebrated on the first day of the waxing moon period in the month of Kartik. Also known as Annakutta (meaning “mountain of food”), this festival commemorates the time when Lord Krishna lifted Mount Govardhan to protect the people of Vrindavan from the wrath of Indra, the king of gods.
In addition to being a religious festival, Govardhan Puja is also a time of thanksgiving, when Hindus give thanks for the bountiful harvest they have received. On this day, Govardhan Puja is celebrated in temples and homes across India with great fanfare.
So why do we celebrate Govardhan Puja? There are many reasons! Here are just a few:
1) To commemorate Lord Krishna’s victory over Indra
2) To give thanks for the bounty of the harvest season
3) To celebrate the beginning of the waxing moon period in Kartik month
4) To enjoy feasting and merrymaking with family and friends
5) To seek blessings for a prosperous year ahead
Whatever your reason for celebrating Govardhan Puja, we hope you have a happy and blessed festival!
