What is Govardhan Parikrama, and can it be recreated at home and temples?
Govardhan Parikrama, a cherished Vaishnava tradition, sees lakhs of devotees annually circumambulating Govardhan Hill in Vrindavan-Mathura. The 21-kilometre walk, filled with chants and devotion, commemorates Lord Krishna's protection of Braj. While the actual parikrama holds immense significance, the tradition can be symbolically recreated at home or in temples, fostering community and connection to roots.
