CNN Central News & Networks / ITDC India ePress / ITDC News / Agencies:
On the festival of Govardhan Puja, the worship of Lord Shri Krishna and Govardhan Parvat holds special significance. According to religious beliefs, on this day Lord Shri Krishna lifted Govardhan Parvat on his little finger to protect the people of Braj from Indra’s wrath. Since then, the tradition of Govardhan Puja has been observed on the day after Diwali.
On this occasion, devotees make a representation of Govardhan Parvat with cow dung in homes and temples and offer prayers. Annakut bhog is offered to Lord Shri Krishna. Special events are organised in temples, and devotees pray for the happiness, prosperity and well-being of their families, as well as a good harvest.
Three auspicious muhurats for worship
Three auspicious muhurats have been mentioned for Govardhan Puja from morning to evening. Devotees may perform the puja during these times according to their convenience and the local panchang. However, the exact timing may vary according to the city and sunrise.
Annakut has special importance in Govardhan Puja. On this day, different kinds of dishes and delicacies are offered to the deity. It is believed that worship performed with devotion and proper rituals brings the grace of Lord Shri Krishna.
