Devotees perform the Parikrama as an act of devotion to Lord Krishna, who lifted the hill to protect the villagers of Braj from heavy rain. It symbolizes surrender, faith, and the eternal bond between Krishna and his devotees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_How_long_does_it_take_to_complete_Govardhan_Parikrama\"><\/span><strong>2.
