Govardhana Puja 2011 celebrations at Srila Prabhupada’s ISKCON Bangalore
ISKCON Bangalore Group — Srila Prabhupada’s ISKCON Bangalore celebrated Deepavali and Govardhana Puja on Thursday, October 27, 2011
The Govardhana hill is worshiped on this day to commemorate the pastime of the Lord Krishna lifting the Govardhana Hill on His little finger, in order to protect the residents of Vrindavan from torrential rains sent by demigod Indra.
At Srila Prabhupada’s ISKCON Bangalore, Lord Krishna was decorated in Giridhari alankara, holding Govardhana Hill on the little finger of His left hand. Devotees worshiped a hill made of 100% vegetarian cake weighing about 800 kgs! Devotees at the temple made an exact replica of the original Govardhana Hill. This cake was baked at the temple’s bakery and was made of different flavors and topped with cookies of various kinds.
