Why is Lord Krishna especially worshipped during the Annakut Festival?

Lord Krishna is central to the Annakut Festival because it commemorates his divine act of lifting Mount Govardhan to protect the people of Gokul from Indra’s wrath. Krishna’s message to worship Govardhan Hill instead of Indra emphasized gratitude toward nature’s gifts and faith in God’s protection. His teachings inspire humility and remind devotees that sincere devotion is greater than pride or ritualistic worship. During Annakut, temples dedicated to Krishna are beautifully decorated, and devotees offer food, sing bhajans, and recall the story of Govardhan Puja. Worshipping Krishna reinforces faith in his role as a protector and sustainer of life.
