Govardhan Puja in Banda: Local Traditions
Banda sits on the Ken river in Bundelkhand, with the Bamdev Mandir on its hill and the Neelkanth Mandir inside Kalinjar Fort a short drive away. Chitrakoot, where families go for parikrama of Kamadgiri, is close enough that many households tie a family puja to a visit there.
Banda follows the Bundelkhandi North Indian vidhi, explained in Hindi or Bundeli, with Kanyakubja and Saryupareen Brahmin families serving as family purohits for generations. Katha and havan are central to every occasion.
