Govardhan Puja

Govardhan Puja also goes by the name of Annakut Puja or Bali Pratipada. It occurs in the Kartik month of the Hindu calendar, which correlates to October-November in the Gregorian calendar. The Annakut Festival comes after Diwali. Annakut primarily signifies a ‘heap of food’. During this occasion, a vegetarian feast is prepared and offered to the mound made of mud. This puja is performed with great pomp in the northern part of India. The Govardhan Puja date for 2016/17 is 31st October and 20th October respectively.
