Govardhan Puja, Annakut Festival to be Celebrated on Nov 2

Govardhan Puja, also known as Annakut or Padwa, is set to take place on November 2, 2024, the day following Lakshmi Puja and the fourth day of Diwali celebrations. Primarily celebrated in northern India, this festival symbolizes the deep bond between humanity and nature, commemorating Lord Krishna’s divine act of lifting Govardhan Hill to protect Vrindavan’s residents from Lord Indra’s wrath.

According to the Drik Panchang, Govardhan Puja’s auspicious times, or Shubh Muhurat, for 2024 are:

Pratahkala Muhurat: 6:34 AM to 8:46 AM
Sayankala Muhurat: 3:23 PM to 5:35 PM
Pratipada Tithi: Begins at 6:16 PM on November 1 and ends at 8:21 PM on November 2.
During this time, devotees perform rituals, offering prayers to Govardhan Hill, Lord Krishna, and cows, seeking blessings for prosperity and protection.

Significance of Govardhan Puja

Rooted in Hindu legend, the festival recalls when Krishna advised Vrindavan’s residents to honor Govardhan Hill instead of worshipping Lord Indra, who presided over rain and thunderstorms. Indra, angered by this, unleashed torrential rains. To shield the villagers, Krishna lifted Govardhan Hill on his finger, providing shelter for seven days until Indra ceased the rain, realizing his error. This act emphasizes respect for nature, highlighting that the environment sustains and protects all living beings.

A grand feast known as Annakut, featuring a variety of delicacies offered to the deities, is a key aspect of the celebration, underlining Krishna’s role as protector and emphasizing nature’s significance in daily life.
