Goverdhan Pooja/Annakuta Puja is celebrated to
commemorate the pastime of the Lord Krishna
lifting the Govardhana Hill on His little
finger, in order to protect the residents of
Vrindavan from torrential rains sent by Indra.
The Supreme Personality of Godhead performed
this pastime as a seven year old boy in order
to crush the pride of Indra, the Lord of the
heavens. Lord Krishna forbade the residents of
Vrindavana from worshipping Indra. He induced
them to worship Govardhana Hill instead.
