Kathmandu. The fifth day of Kartik Shukla Pratipada i.e. Yamapanchak is being celebrated today by worshiping Govardhan, Bali, Goru and Hali.

There is a tradition of plastering the courtyard and making a mountain out of cow dung and worshiping it as Govardhan Parvat. In the Dwapar Yuga, it is customary to worship Govardhan in memory of Lord Krishna lifting the Govardhan mountain with his palm and saving the people of Gokul from the torrential rains. Toyaraj Nepal said.

There is a religious ritual to perform Govardhan Puja on the day of sunrise on the day of Kartik Shukla Pratipada. Dr. Dr. Purushottam Bhattarai said.

According to the religious belief that Lord Vishnu gave King Bali the right to rule the earth for five days of Yamapanchak, today King Bali is also worshiped. On the basis of this belief, the tradition of playing Deusi in Tihar is going on by saying, ‘We did not come just like that, Bali was sent by the king’.

The bull, which plows the fields throughout the year and serves for the welfare of humanity, is also worshiped today and given sweet food. There is also a tradition of worshiping the bull as the vehicle bull of Devadidev Mahadev.

Similarly, farmers engaged in ploughing and other agricultural work by ploughing oxen throughout the year are also worshiped today and fed sweet dishes. Therefore, this day is also called Hali Tihar.
