Govardhan Puja commemorates the lifting of which mountain by Lord Krishna?

Govardhan Puja commemorates the lifting of the Govardhan Hill by Lord Krishna. According to Hindu mythology, this was done to protect the residents of Vrindavan from torrential rains sent by Lord Indra, who was angered when the villagers stopped worshipping him. Krishna held the hill on his little finger for seven continuous days, sheltering the villagers and their livestock. This event demonstrated his divine power and taught people the importance of devotion, unity, and respect for natural resources. Govardhan Hill became a symbol of protection, humility, and the bond between humanity and the environment, which is why it is worshipped annually.
