Govardhan Puja is a Hindu festival celebrated primarily in northern India, marking the day after Diwali. It honors the lifting of the Govardhan Hill by Lord Krishna to protect the villagers from heavy rains caused by the god Indra. During this festival, devotees create a small hill made of cow dung and decorate it with flowers, fruits, and other offerings. People perform rituals, sing devotional songs, and share festive meals, emphasizing gratitude and community spirit. The celebration symbolizes the importance of nature and the divine protection provided by Krishna.
