Govardhan Puja in Hyderabad
North Indian, Marwari and Gujarati families in Hyderabad celebrate Govardhan Puja and Annakut the day after Diwali, often together with neighbours in their community.
A Pandit can lead the puja, katha and parikrama at your home or clubhouse, with a Govardhan made from food, flowers or clay to suit apartment living.
वक्रतुण्ड महाकाय सूर्यकोटि समप्रभ।
निर्विघ्नं कुरु मे देव सर्वकार्येषु सर्वदा॥
Vakratuṇḍa mahākāya sūryakoṭi samaprabha, nirvighnaṁ kuru me deva sarvakāryeṣu sarvadā.
