Significance of such a spiritual day: Sacred writings and stories in the conventional Hindu mythology talks about the power Lord Indra holds. Back to the earlier time, when Lord Indra, the God of Rain was worshipped by Vrindavan people, lavish meals were offered to satisfy him and seek divine blessings. However, Lord Krishna assured all the believers of Vrindavan to also worship and pray to Govardhan Hill, who for their living nurtured soil and upheld their work. At the point when Lord Indra saw this, he was shocked and in anger fought back by pushing intense rainstorms down the town. Such climate unleashed the town people and drowned away numerous livelihoods.

Nonetheless, Lord Krishna rescued the residents by lifting the Govardhan town with his little finger. This continued for seven days and seven evenings. At long last, Lord Indra understood his slip-up and bowed down to Krishna.

The devotees after such an incident, as a characteristic of regard to Lord Krishna offer load of grain during the puja, which represented the Govardhan Hill.
