Madhya Pradesh: In the village of Bhidadwad, located in the Ujjain district, a unique tradition takes place on the second day of Diwali, known as Govardhan Puja. During this celebration, devotees allow cows to walk over them, believing this act will help their wishes come true.

The day begins with a morning puja, followed by a lively procession around the village, filled with the sound of drums. All the cows in the village are gathered in one area for the event. When the time comes, devotees lie down on the ground, letting the cows trample over them.

After the cows have passed, the devotees stand up and joyfully dance to the rhythm of the drums, creating an atmosphere of celebration. Many enthusiastic visitors from nearby villages come to witness this vibrant tradition.
