Overview

Govardhan Puja for families in Chowk

Govardhan Puja is celebrated on Kartik Shukla Pratipada, the day after Diwali. It remembers Lord Krishna lifting Govardhan Parvat on his little finger to shelter the people and cattle of Vraj from the rains sent by Indra.

Chowk is the old commercial heart of Varanasi, a dense network of lanes filled with wholesale markets, silk and sari shops, sweet shops and tall old houses. It lies in the old city between Godowlia and Maidagin, with the lanes towards Kashi Vishwanath close by.

वक्रतुण्ड महाकाय सूर्यकोटि समप्रभ।

निर्विघ्नं कुरु मे देव सर्वकार्येषु सर्वदा॥

Traditional Ganesha prayer

Planning Your Puja in Chowk

Vehicles cannot reach most lanes, so expect to walk and carry samagri by hand.
Shop pujas are usually done early, before the market opens and crowds build.
Diwali and Dhanteras are very busy for business pujas, so book ahead.
Share a clear landmark such as a well-known shop, as lanes can be confusing.
Rooftops in old houses are often the best place for a havan.
Decide what you will use to shape the Govardhan: cow dung, clay or food.
Plan the Annakut dishes a day ahead.
