A distinctive scene of religious faith is being witnessed in Govardhan. A huge crowd of devotees from India and abroad is gathering on the 21-kilometre-long parikrama route. They include around 10,000 foreign devotees, who are undertaking the parikrama to express their devotion to Lord Giriraj.
On the parikrama route, devotees can be seen walking, performing dandvat parikrama and moving forward by lying down repeatedly. Many devotees, with full faith, lie on the ground and move ahead in this manner, fulfilling their resolve linked to their religious wish. An atmosphere of devotion and faith prevails along the entire route.
The large presence of foreign devotees also reflects Govardhan’s international religious identity. During the parikrama, movement of devotees continues around major stops and temples. In view of the crowd of devotees, special attention is also being paid to arrangements so that pilgrims do not face difficulties in darshan and the parikrama.
