Govardhan Puja Date: Govardhan Puja holds special significance in Hinduism, and its direct connection is with nature and humanity. Celebrated on the first day of the bright fortnight (Shukla Paksha) of the Kartik month, following Diwali, it is also known as Annakut festival. While this festival is observed throughout India, its grandeur is particularly heightened in North India, especially in Mathura, Vrindavan, Nandgaon, Gokul, and Barsana.

This year, Govardhan Puja will be observed on the first day of the bright fortnight of Kartik month, starting at 2:56 PM on November 13 and concluding the next day, November 14, at 2:36 PM. According to the sunrise, Govardhan Puja will be celebrated on November 14.

Lord Krishna Destroyed the Arrogance of Indra:

According to a mythological story from the Dvapara Yuga, in Braj, people used to worship Lord Indra. Lord Krishna told the residents of Braj that rainfall is their duty and responsibility, and they should focus on performing their duties. Govardhan Parvat protects our cows and provides food. This also ensures a pure environment. Therefore, instead of worshiping Indra, they should worship Govardhan Parvat.

Understanding Lord Krishna's words, everyone began to worship Govardhan Parvat. This angered Indra, who then commanded the clouds to destroy Gokul. In response, Lord Krishna suggested that all the residents seek refuge on Govardhan Parvat. He then lifted the Govardhan Parvat with his pinky finger, providing shelter to all the inhabitants of Braj and protecting them from the wrath of Indra.

Indra utilized all his might, but he was defeated. When Indra realized that Lord Krishna is the incarnation of Lord Vishnu, he sought forgiveness from Lord Krishna. From that day onwards, Govardhan Puja has been accorded special significance.
