Krishna Lifts Govardhan Hill

The lifting of Govardhan Hill is one of Krishna's most iconic childhood leelas (divine acts), described in the Bhagavata Purana. It marks the moment Krishna challenged the old Vedic order of Indra worship and established devotion to the divine in everyday life. The story is celebrated annually as Govardhan Puja (Annakut) on the day after Diwali and has profound theological significance in Vaishnavism.
