GOVARDHAN HILL
Govardhan Hill is a sacred hill associated with the legend where Lord Krishna lifted the hill to protect the residents of Vrindavan from the wrath of Indra, the king of the gods. The hill is a symbol of divine protection and grace. Pilgrims often undertake a parikrama (circumambulation) of the hill, which takes about 4-5 hours. It is considered highly auspicious to walk barefoot around the hill, and the scenic beauty of the area adds to the spiritual experience.
