About Govardhan Puja
10 November 2026
Govardhan Puja falls on Kartik Shukla Pratipada in the Diwali cluster. The festival recounts Krishna teaching villagers to honour Govardhan and the natural world rather than fear Indra’s pride—then sheltering them beneath the lifted hill. Temples prepare Annakut, a lavish offering of many dishes. Homes may make a small Govardhan form from cow dung or clay, offer satvik food, and circumambulate with devotion. In some regions the day also aligns with Bali Pratipada or Gujarati New Year customs. On Madhuma you will find festival essentials for a respectful Govardhan Puja—incense, diyas, and puja items—so your Annakut feels abundant and calm.
Frequently Asked Questions
Practical answers for shopping Govardhan Puja essentials.
Govardhan Puja, or Annakut, remembers Krishna lifting Govardhan Hill and is observed with food offerings, gratitude for nature, and devotion in the Diwali season.
Annakut means a “mountain of food”—a lavish offering of many dishes presented to Krishna and later shared as Prasad in temples and homes.
It is typically observed on Kartik Shukla Pratipada, often the day after the main Diwali Amavasya night—sometimes with a one-day gap depending on tithi timing.
Many prepare satvik dishes, create a small symbolic Govardhan form, offer incense and aarti to Krishna, and honour cows or dairy if that is their custom.
Plan a manageable menu, clean the altar, keep diyas ready, and set time for a calm Krishna remembrance rather than an oversized feast stress.
Lord Krishna is the central deity of Govardhan Puja and Annakut, with gratitude also extended to nature, cattle, and the land.
