About Govardhan Puja

Govardhan Puja is a Hindu festival celebrated the day after Diwali to commemorate Lord Krishna lifting the Govardhan Hill. Devotees often build small hillocks of cow dung to represent the mountain and offer food to the deity. It is a time for expressing gratitude for nature and divine protection.
