About Govardhan
Govardhan is a serene and sacred town located near Mathura and Vrindavan, deeply revered in Hindu mythology. It is famously known as the site where Lord Krishna lifted the Govardhan Hill to protect the villagers from torrential rains, showcasing his divine power and love for his devotees. Today, Govardhan remains a pilgrimage center, with thousands of devotees visiting to complete the sacred Govardhan Parikrama, the circumambulation of the hill that is said to bring peace and spiritual blessings.
