Windows are computed for this city — the tithi decides which are valid, so they shift with your location and are not the Indian times. Abhijit and Rahu Kaal belong to the day itself rather than to the festival.
Govardhan Puja recalls Krishna lifting Mount Govardhan on a fingertip to shelter Braj from Indra’s storm. It falls the day after Diwali, on the first of the waxing moon in Kartik.
How it is observed
A hill of food — the annakut, "mountain of grain" — is built before the deity and shared out. In Gujarat the same day is kept as the new year.
