A day after Diwali, Nathdwara (situated close to Udaipur) invites a large number of pilgrims to worship the holy shrine of Shrinathji (childlike reincarnation of Lord Krishna, who is widely worshipped by the Vaishnav community of Gujarat and Rajasthan) and to participate/spectate the not-so-famous Khekra Festival.

The Khekra is a holy festival quite similar to the worldwide famous Encierro (The traditional Spanish festival of the running of the bulls. For Indian readers, this is the one that had thrilled all of us in the popular Bollywood movie – Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara [2011]).

Khekra Festival – Why is it Celebrated?

The Khekra Festival which is majorly referred to as the Govardhan Pooja of Nathdwara takes place annually and celebrated on the next day of Diwali.

According to legends, one fine day, Lord Indra (the God of Rain) caused floods in the residing village of Lord Krishna.

Lord Krishna had then, saved the villagers from the ferocity of Lord Indra by lifting the Govardhan Parbat on his little finger. Since then, the Govardhan Pooja or The Khekra is celebrated to mark the victory of Lord Krishna.
