Govardhan puja and Gau puja were held at the Sri Sri Radha Madan Mohan temple at Hare Krishna Vaikuntham, Gambheeram, Visakhapatnam, on Tuesday.

The celebrations began with a palanquin procession of the deities from the temple to the goshala, where the cows were worshipped.

Niskinchana Bhakta Dasa, president of the Hare Krishna Movement, Visakhapatnam, spoke about the significance of Lord Krishna’s Govardhan Leela and Gau puja.

Devotees prepared a traditional Annakuta, a mountain-like offering comprising 108 varieties of vegetarian food for Lord Krishna. They also performed govardhan parikrama (walking around) the offering. The programme included damodara aarti and the offering of ghee lamps to the deity. The celebrations concluded with the distribution of prasadam.
