Today, the fourth day of Kartik Shukla Pratipada and Yama Panchak, or Tihar, is being celebrated by worshipping cows and farmers and eating delicious food.
It is customary to worship the bull, which serves humanity by plowing all year round, and feed it sweet food.
There is a tradition of worshipping the bull as the vehicle of Devadhidev Mahadev, i.e. the bull. Similarly, the ploughman who plows the field all year round and the farmers who do other agricultural work are also worshipped today and fed with sweet dishes. That is why this day is also called Hali Tihar.
Govardhan Puja
Today, a mountain of cow dung is made in the courtyard and worshipped as Govardhan Parbat. The tradition of worshipping Govardhan Parbat is in memory of Lord Krishna lifting Govardhan Parbat with his palms in the Dwapar Yuga and saving the people of Gokul from torrential rain.
This festival is celebrated on the day of Kartik Shukla Pratipada. The Nepal Panchanga Nirikh Vikas Samiti has stated that the ritual to be performed on the day of sunrise on the day of Govardhan Puja Pratipada is as follows.
