What is Annakut? Lord Krishna taught that Govardhan, the manifestation of the Supreme Lord of Nature, should be worshipped rather than Indra. When Indra sent torrential rains in anger, Krishna lifted Govardhan hill to shelter the people. Annakut, the decorated mountain of food, symbolizes Govardhan. It is performed with great zeal in Gujarat, Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Bihar.
