Govardhan Pooja
गोवर्धन पूजा
The rite
Govardhan puja on Annakut day remembers Krishna lifting the hill, with a food mountain offered to God and cow remembrance in yard or balcony. Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma helps Bengaluru families arrange annakoot plates when no pasture exists, using symbolic cow feeding with grass on terrace.
Time at the house: About 1.5 to 2 hours
Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma performs this as a home visit in Bengaluru. Share your area and preferred slot on WhatsApp; the samagri list is sent before the day. This page does not list fees or promise worldly results.
Why families book it
Families book after Diwali week to keep Annakut tradition alive away from Mathura.
Children learn why multiple dishes are offered in one tiered display.
