Govardhan Puja 2025: There is confusion in the minds of people regarding when the festival of Govardhan Puja will be celebrated in the year 2025.
Govardhan Puja 2025: When is Govardhan Puja, October 21 or 22?
Govardhan Puja is usually celebrated the day after Diwali. Therefore, in 2025, Govardhan Puja should be celebrated on October 21st. However, there is uncertainty regarding Govardhan Puja this year due to the Pratipada date.
When is Govardhan Puja?
Govardhan Puja is celebrated every year on the Pratipada Tithi of the Shukla Paksha (bright fortnight) of the month of Kartika. In 2025, Pratipada Tithi will begin at 5:57 pm on October 21st. Pratipada Tithi will last until nightfall the next day. Therefore, according to the Udayatithi belief, celebrating Govardhan Puja on October 22nd in 2025 will be considered auspicious.
- Pratipada Tithi Starts: October 21st at 5:57 pm
- Pratipada Tithi Ends: October 22nd at 8:18 pm
Since Pratipada Tithi will prevail at sunrise on October 22nd and will last for more than two and a half hours after sunset, Govardhan Puja will be celebrated on the 22nd. If you were unsure about the date of Govardhan Puja, your doubts are now cleared.
Significance of Govardhan Puja
Govardhan Puja is one of the major festivals of Hinduism. It is believed that on this day, Lord Krishna lifted Mount Govardhan on his little finger to crush the pride of Indra. Therefore, even today, people celebrate Govardhan Puja on Kartik Shukla Pratipada to commemorate this event. This festival also reflects the connection between nature and humanity.
Along with worship and charity, praying and giving alms on Govardhan Puja is also considered highly auspicious. Worshiping Mount Govardhan and Lord Krishna on this day brings auspicious results to devotees.
