Why to visit Govardhan Hill
This Hill, also known as the Giri Raj, is 22 kilometres from Vrindavan. According to Lord Krishna, Govardhan Parvat is not distinct from him, as described in the Holy Bhagwat Gita. As a result, all of his devotees worship the hill's pristine rocks in the same way that they adore his idol. The sandstone hill stands 80 feet tall and has a radius of 38 kilometres. Mansi Ganga, Mukharvind, and Daan Ghati are some of the great sites to explore in the hills.
Lord Krishna is said to have raised the Govardhan Hill on one finger during his infancy to save his village of Mathura from violent rains and thunderstorms. As a result, this hill is considered holy, and on Guru Purnima, Govardhan Puja, believers walk 23 kilometres barefoot around the mountain in devotion. Lord Krishna told everyone to worship the hill after saving his town, which is why Govardhan Puja falls a day after Diwali. It's a peaceful spot that you should definitely pay a visit to.
