Govardhan Puja begins with achamanam (self-purification) and sankalpam (vow) to worship Lord Krishna and Govardhan Hill. A symbolic hill made of cow dung or sweets is decorated with flowers, cows, and ponds. Devotees offer diya, incense, sandalwood, tulsi, and flowers while singing bhajans and performing aarti and parikrama. A grand Annakut of various foods is offered and later shared as prasadam, symbolizing devotion, nature’s respect, and faith in Krishna’s divine protection.
