కృష్ణుని మరియు వైష్ణవ భక్తులు ఎక్కువగా ఈ ప్రాంతంలో ఉన్నారు. చాలా మంది పర్యాటకులు ప్రతి సంవత్సరం ఈ ప్రాంతాన్ని సందర్శించి ఈ కొండ చుట్టూ జపాలు, గానాలు, భజనలు చేస్తూ, [[గిరి ప్రదక్షిణం]] చేస్తారు. ఈ గిరి పరిసర ప్రాంతాలలో శ్రీకృష్ణుడు మరియు [[బలరాముడు]] బాల లీలలు చాలా విశేషంగా ప్రాముఖ్యత వహించాయి.
==గోవర్ధనోద్ధారణం==
Govardhan Puja is celebrated the day after Diwali. It is the day Lord Krishna defeated Indra, the deity of thunder and rain. As per the story, Krishna saw huge preparations for the annual offering to Lord Indra and questions his father Nanda about it. He debated with the villagers about what their 'dharma' truly was. They were farmers, they should do their duty and concentrate on farming and protection of their cattle. He continued to say that all human beings should merely do their 'karma', to the best of their ability and not pray or conduct sacrifices for natural phenomenon. The villagers were convinced by Krishna, and did not proceed with the special puja (prayer). Indra was then angered, and flooded the village. Krishna then lifted Mt Govardhan and held it up as protection to his people and cattle from the rain. Indra finally accepted defeat and recognized Krishna as supreme. This aspect of Krishna's life is mostly glossed over - but it actually set up on the basis of the 'karma' philosophy later detailed in the Bhagavat Gita.{{Fact|date=October 2008}}
It also represents the downfall of Indra, and a new beginning in Hindu philosophy, from a more sacrificial/ appeasement oriented worship, to a more spiritual plane of thought. This evolution of thought in Hinduism was brought about by Krishna, and therefore he has been the most important Hindu deity since then - considered an 'avatar' of the supreme. The more we look at his life story - we find him to be a great reformer of his time.{{Fact|date=October 2008}}
According to ancient [[Vaishnava]] legends the Vedic [[Deva (Hinduism)|demi-god]], [[Indra]] was feared by human beings, and when Krishna found out, he opposed the performance of sacrificial worship for Indra. He emphasized the importance of karma and doing ones duty. This supposedly made Indra angry at the boy [[Krishna]] (an incarnation of the Supreme [[God]] according to the [[Bhagavata Purana]] <ref> [http://srimadbhagavatam.com/1/3/28/en1 Bhag-P 1.3.28] 'Krishna Is the Source of All Incarnations'. </ref>).
Indra thus invoked many clouds to appear in the sky and schemed to flood the region with rains lasting for seven days and seven nights. Krishna in reply then lifted Govardhan hill, under which all the animals and people of the region took shelter, safe from the rains of Indra's fury. Ultimately, Indra accepted defeat, and after praying to Krishna, left for his heavenly abode, the [[Svarga]].
