The Chief Minister also expressed hope that the festival would strengthen the spirit of brotherhood and social harmony among people. His message emphasised the values of mutual respect, togetherness and collective well-being associated with the celebration.
Govardhan Puja is traditionally observed on the day following Diwali and is associated with the worship of Govardhan Hill and Lord Krishna. The festival recalls the religious belief that Lord Krishna lifted Govardhan Hill to protect the people of Braj from heavy rains sent by Lord Indra. It is also linked with gratitude towards nature and the resources that sustain life.
Mann’s greeting extended the festive spirit beyond individual celebrations, wishing people a life filled with peace, prosperity and stronger bonds of community.
