Step-by-Step Pooja Vidhi

Sculpting the Deity of Giriraj Govardhan

Clean the courtyard or verandah. Using fresh, pure cow dung, sculpt the reclining divine form of Lord Govardhan. Shape His head, eyes, long arms, and legs. Form an elevated naval hollow to hold a clay lamp. Adorn His crown with flowers and place sugarcane stalks around Him as trees.

Sacred Vedic Mantra

गोवर्धन धराधार गोकुल त्राणकारक। विष्णुबाहु कृतोच्छ्राय गवां कोटिप्रदो भव॥

Invocation & Shodashopachara Worship

Light a cow ghee lamp in the naval hollow of Govardhan Ji. Offer holy water with Kusha grass, apply red vermilion (sindoor) and fragrant chandan. Offer raw unbroken rice, yellow marigolds, and sacred Moli thread as clothes.

Sacred Vedic Mantra

ॐ नमो भगवते वासुदेवाय। ॐ कृष्णाय वासुदेवाय हरये परमात्मने। प्रणतक्लेशनाशाय गोविंदाय नमो नमः॥

Offering the Grand Annakut (56 Bhog) Feast

Arrange the grand Annakut offering: traditional Kadhi, bajra khichdi, poori, kheer, makhan-mishri, and the sacred 'Annakut Subzi' made by simmering dozens of fresh seasonal vegetables together. Offer each dish with sacred Tulsi leaves placed on top.

Sacred Vedic Mantra

त्वदीयं वस्तु गोविंद तुभ्यमेव समर्पये। गृहाण संमुखो भूत्वा प्रसीद परमेश्वर॥

Gau Mata (Holy Cow) Pujan & Feeding

Govardhan Puja is incomplete without worshiping Gau Mata. Bathe the cow and calf, apply turmeric-kumkum tilak on their foreheads, adorn their horns with oil/color, and place a flower garland around their necks. Feed them fresh green grass, soaked flour dough balls (peda) with jaggery, and Annakut prasad.

Sacred Vedic Mantra

सर्वकामदुघे देवि सर्वतीर्थीभिषेचिनि। पावने सुरभि श्रेष्ठे देवि तुभ्यं नमोऽस्तु ते॥

Seven-Circuit Parikrama with Milk & Water

Fill a small earthen pot or brass pitcher with raw cow milk and water. Walk clockwise around the sculpted Govardhan deity seven times, pouring a continuous, unbroken thin stream (Dugdhadhara) of milk while dropping batashas and flowers on the path.

Sacred Vedic Mantra

यानि कानि च पापानि जन्मान्तरकृतानि च। तानि सर्वाणि नश्यन्ति प्रदक्षिणपदे पदे॥

Govardhan Maharaj Aarti & Annakut Feast

Light camphor and sing the traditional Govardhan Aarti ('Shri Govardhan Maharaj, O Maharaj, Tere Mathe Mukut Viraj Raho'). Conclude by partaking in the Annakut prasad with family and distributing it to neighbors and the needy.

Sacred Vedic Mantra

ॐ जय गोवर्धन धारी, प्रभु जय गोवर्धन धारी। शरण पड़े जो तेरी, संकट सब हारी॥ ॐ जय गोवर्धन धारी॥
