Govardhan Puja Auspicious Timings Announced for November

Govardhan Puja, celebrated on the Kartik Shukla Pratipada lunar date, will take place this year on November 10, 2026, falling on a Tuesday. The sacred Pratipada tithi commences on November 9 at 12:31 PM and extends until November 10 at 2:00 PM. Following the Udaya Tithi calculation method, which determines the most auspicious day for observance, November 10 has been identified as the optimal date for performing Govardhan Puja rituals.

The most favorable muhurat window for worship has been determined to fall between 6:40 AM and 8:50 AM on November 10, providing devotees with a two-hour-ten-minute period to conduct puja ceremonies. This early morning timing aligns with traditional practices of performing the ritual during Brahma muhurat, considered spiritually propitious by Hindu tradition.

Govardhan Puja, also known as Annakut, commemorates Lord Krishna's lifting of the Govardhan mountain to protect villagers from torrential rains. The observance typically involves worshipping cow dung representations of the sacred mountain and offering food preparations as part of the celebration. Devotees are advised to note the specific timing to ensure their rituals coincide with the prescribed auspicious hours.
