According to Hindu scriptures, Lord Krishna lifted Govardhan Hill on his little finger for seven days to protect the villagers of Vrindavan from torrential rains caused by Lord Indra's anger. This event symbolizes Krishna's divine power and his devotion to his devotees. The hill is not just a geographical landmark but a living embodiment of Krishna's presence. Over centuries, numerous temples and shrines have been built around Govardhan Hill, solidifying its status as a major pilgrimage destination. The Mughal emperors also left their mark on the region, with some contributing to the preservation of the sacred sites. Today, Govardhan Hill continues to attract millions of devotees annually, preserving its rich history and religious significance.
