Dates for your city

Tuesday, 10 November 2026

Dates can vary with place and tradition. Check your family’s or temple’s local observance too.

About the festival date

Govardhan Puja is observed on Kartika Shukla Pratipada, the first day of the bright fortnight after Diwali. In some years a day falls between Lakshmi Puja and Govardhan Puja, because the Amavasya tithi is still running at the next sunrise. The date below is calculated for the chosen city; regional observances may differ.

How India celebrates

  • Braj (Mathura, Vrindavan, Govardhan): devotees walk the parikrama of Govardhan hill, and temples offer Annakut and chhappan bhog.
  • North India: a small Govardhan is shaped from cow dung in the courtyard and worshipped, and cows are decorated.
  • Rajasthan: Nathdwara’s Annakut is one of the best-known offerings of the year.
  • Gujarat: the same day is Bestu Varas, the Gujarati new year, with greetings of “Saal Mubarak”.
  • Maharashtra and Karnataka: Bali Pratipada (Diwali Padwa, Bali Padyami) honours King Bali and couples exchange gifts.

Planning your day

  • Annakut food is shared as prasad with neighbours and visitors in many homes and temples.
  • Check your city’s panchang for the day’s tithi, Rahu Kaal and Abhijit muhurat before fixing a time for the puja.
