Lord Krishna spent most of his childhood in Braj, Uttar Pradesh. Devotees associate the place with many of Krishna’s divine and heroic achievements with his childhood friends. One of the famous tales described in Bhagavata Purana, involves Lord Krishna lifting Mount Govardhan, a low hill situated in the middle of Braj. It was stated that the villagers of Lord Krishna prayed to Lord Indra to stop the heavy rainfall and protect their harvest. But angry Indra let the rain continue to pour. To save the villagers from the rage of Lord Indra, beloved Lord Krishan lifted the hill on his little finger, protecting the residents and their crops. Since that day, individuals worship Govardhan Hill, which shows their increasing dedication to Lord Krishna. On this auspicious day, share with your friends and family these devotional messages and wish them Happy Govardhan Puja. Govatsa Dwadashi Images & Vasu Baras Rangoli, Photos of Gau Mata Puja: Celebrate This Festival of Cows Before Dhanteras and Diwali 2018 Begins.
