## Govardhan Puja 2023: Celebrating Lord Krishna’s Divine Protection
Govardhan Puja, also fondly known as Annakut Puja, is a vibrant and meaningful festival in the Hindu culture. Celebrated on the day after Diwali, this year, it falls on
November 2nd
. This festival commemorates Lord Krishna’s heroic act of lifting the Govardhan Hill to shield the villagers from torrential rains unleashed by the angered God Indra.The Significance of Govardhan Puja:
The festival beautifully illustrates the powerful bond between devotion and divine protection.

This event serves as a powerful reminder of faith, responsibility, and the unwavering love of a deity for his devotees.
