Symbolism & Significance
The Legend of Govardhana Giri
When Indra, the king of heavens, unleashed torrential rains on Vrindavan out of wounded pride, Lord Krishna—still a child—lifted the Govardhan hill with one finger to shelter the entire village.
• For seven days, Krishna stood like a mountain himself, smiling and unshaken, holding up the hill as an umbrella of divine grace.
• This story teaches the lesson of humility, devotion, and the protective nature of the divine.
• Worshiping Krishna as Govardhanadhari—Lifter of the Hill—reminds devotees that surrendering to God ensures protection from all storms, both physical and spiritual.
• This Golu doll captures that sacred moment, where divine play (leela) meets supreme responsibility.
