As part of the Krishna Jayanthi celebrations, a Govardhan puja was held at Nandalala Temple at Ranga Road, Mylapore recently.
According to the Bhagavata Puranam, Lord Krishna lifted the Govardhan Hill on his little finger to provide the villagers of Vrindavan shelter from torrential rains. Annakoot also called ‘a mountain of food’ is offered by devotees during this time to pay their respects to the Govardhan hill.
This year, the speciality of the Annakoot at the temple was that in addition to dhal, vegetables, pulses, fried savory foods, lemon rice, tamarind rice, curd rice and other items, a sweet Annakoot was also offered to the deity.
