A glimpse of the 82-year-old Govardhan Puja at Nababrindabon on Wednesday. Govardhan Puja is usually celebrated on the day after Diwali. This year, due to the solar eclipse on October 25, Govardhan Puja was observed on October 26. Lavish chhappan bhog prasad was served. According to Hindu mythology, Lord Krishna, with his little finger, had lifted Govardhan parvat (hill) to provide shelter to the residents of Vrindavan to protect them from heavy rainfall. On this occasion, devotees also perform Annakut Puja. They prepare 56 delicious food items (chhappan bhog) and offer the same to Lord Krishna
