Ancient Yadu Rituals Come Alive with Govardhan Dhari Offerings and Goat Sacrifice

Long‑standing Yadu rituals were on full display as families recreated ceremonies that have been handed down for centuries. One devotee, Chandra Dev Yadav, explained that the practice began with their ancestors and continues to bind the community. He described the early‑morning "dagar" tours, the worship of the cow's hoof, and the blessing of each householder. Another participant, Tapeshwar Ram, highlighted that the event is not merely a puja but a living expression of cultural identity. He added that during the concurrent Lakshmi puja, the same door‑to‑door procession, birha singing and charitable donations take place, reinforcing the village’s sense of unity and spiritual heritage.
