Thousands of years ago in the Dvapara age, lord Krishna asked the villagers of Brij to not worship Lord Indra (Bhagwan Indra), the Hindu God of rain, in a fit of rage, flooded Mathura and nearby places with excessive rains and calamities.
This created panic amongst local villagers of Mathura. To save the residents of Mathura and Govardhan, Shri Krishna performed one of his most famous leela. He lifted the entire Govardhan Parvat on his little finger for 7 consecutive days and 7 nights.
What happened next was nothing less than magical. All the Braj Vasi (residents) came rushing to him and found shelter under the huge Govardhan mountain. Lord Krishna showed his ‘Virat Roop’ (grand form) by lifting an entire mountain.
After 7 days of lifting mountains, the events finally broke the pride of Indra Devta. Eventually supremacy of Lord Krishna was established.
Ever since, the Govardhan Parvat has been worshipped by Hindus from all over the world and this event is celebrated with much fanfare in Brij. Isn’t it a beautiful thing that in India, we worship nature?
Henceforth by acknowledging this fact, we are organizing an experiential trip to Govardhan and nearby settlements which are enriched with folk tales, food and Cultural-Heritage. Recognizing and accepting the fact that many people nowadays travel solo, The Heritage Tracks is a platform that provides you an opportunity to explore with like-minded people. Our workshop & tours are designed in such a manner that the explorers can travel without any hassle and unwanted tensions
