Govardhan Puja 2020: Puja timings, date, history and significance
Govardhan Puja or Bali Pratipada is widely known yearly on the day after Diwali. It falls within the month of Kartik and this 12 months Govardhan Puja will probably be celebrated on Sunday (November 15).
Govardhan Puja is widely known throughout North India by tens of millions of individuals to commemorate the historical past of Govardhan Parbat. It is broadly believed that Govardhan Parbat saved lives of a number of folks from incessant rains. Many devotees imagine that folks of Gokul used to worship God of rain Indra. But it was Lord Krishna who needed to that folks prayed to Annakut hill or Govardhan Parbat. So the folks of Braj began worshipping Govardhan Parbat as an alternative of God Indra and it made Lord Indra very offended. As a end result, Lord Indra began incessant rain.
When Lord Krishna got here to know this he got here to the rescue of the folks of Braj and guarded them from incessant rain by lifting the Govardhan hill on his little finger. The day is then celebrated as Govardhan Puja. On today, devotees provide homage to Govardhan Parbat. In Maharashtra, the day is widely known as Padva or Bali Pratipada. The Maharashtrians belive that Lord Vishnu had pushed demon King Bali to Patal Loka on this auspicious day.
Devotees provide cereals like wheat, rice, and curry of gram flour and leafy greens to Lord Krishna on Govardhan Puja.
