Govardhan Puja is also called Annakut or Annakot and falls on Pratipada of the Kartik Month. The day is dedicated to worshipping Lord Krishna and Govardhan Parvat (Hill).
Devotees on this day prepare 56 varieties (Chappan Bhog) of dishes and offer them as Annakut (mountain of food) as a way to express their gratitude and devotion.
It is mainly performed to seek the divine blessings for protection, prosperity, and overall well-being. Peace with nature is the other lesson in the ceremony. One day, Lord Krishna picked up the Govardhan Hill on his little finger in order to protect the folks of Braj from heavy rain.
The event changed the adoration of divine beings to nature, such as mountains, forests and cows that nourish us. Govardhan Puja is widespread in North India and has a large following in Mathura, Vrindavan, as well as in adjoining places.
