Govardhan Puja is celebrated the day after which major festival?

Govardhan Puja is celebrated the day after Diwali, specifically on the Pratipada (first lunar day) of the Kartik month in the Hindu calendar. While Diwali is about lights, wealth, and the return of Lord Rama, Govardhan Puja is about gratitude to nature and remembering Lord Krishna’s act of lifting the Govardhan Hill. In different regions, it is also called Annakut. The day after Diwali varies in rituals: in some places it is observed as Vishwakarma Puja or Bali Pratipada, but the common thread is reverence to natural forces and prosperity after the festive peak of Diwali.
