Overview
Govardhan Puja for families in Sarnath
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.
Sarnath, a few kilometres north-east of central Varanasi, is revered around the world as the place where the Buddha gave his first sermon after enlightenment. Its stupas, monasteries and museum draw pilgrims and visitors from many countries throughout the year.
