Govardhan Puja is celebrated a day after Diwalli.
The day is celebrated is being celebrated with two ideas in mind based on very interesting mythological beliefs and has become a prevalent tradition in North India.
The term Govardhana pooja is also termed as Annakut – which means a heap or a mountain of food grains. This is to honor nature thanking God for rain and its reap. People build heaps of cow dung to replicate the Govardhan hills and worship the cattle and their lands for the yield.
It is celebrated almost in every Indian States.
