::Annakoot Celebration::
Annakoot is one of Pushti Marga's main festival. It celebrates Krishna's worship of the Mount Govardhan during his Vraj Lila. Breaking with tradition, he recommended puja of Govardhan instead of Indra. Krishna argued that no one had seen Indra and benefits of his worship were rather dubious. Worshipping Govardhan-Nathji had positive and visible benefits. It was Govardhan-Nathji who protected them, gave them rain, grass, shelter etc. therefore it made sense to worship him rather than some remote God on a golden throne in a transient heaven !
