Govardhan Puja 2021

 Govardhan Puja takes place the day after Diwali, on the fourth day of the five-day Hindu celebration. There may be a day between Diwali and Govardhan Puja on rare occasions. It occurs on the first lunar day of the Shukla Paksha (bright fortnight of the moon) in the month of Kartik, according to the Hindu calendar. It's an important component of the Diwali celebrations. Govardhan Puja recalls Lord Krishna's triumph over Indra.



In different regions of the nation, Govardhan Puja is known by different names. It is also known as 'Bali Pratipada', 'Annakut Puja,' 'Padwa,' or even 'Gujarati New Year' in some regions. In the Indian states of Haryana, Punjab, Bihar, and Uttar Pradesh, Govardhan Puja is celebrated with tremendous fervour and excitement. The state of Haryana, in particular, has a cow dung hillock-making rite that is symbolic of Mount Govardhan. People then revere these hillocks by decorating them with flowers.
