Goverdhan Pujan, or Annakoot (translated as “a mountain of food”) as it is also known, is a Hindu festival in which devotees prepare and offer a large variety of vegetarian food to the murtis of Paramatma(God) as a mark of gratitude. For Vaishnavas, this day commemorates the incident in the Bhagavata Puran when Krishna lifted Govardhan Hill to provide the villagers of Vrindavan shelter from torrential rains. The incident is seen to represent how God will protect all devotees who take singular refuge in him. Devotees offer a mountain of food, metaphorically representing the Govardhan Hill, to God as a ritual remembrance and to renew their faith in taking refuge in God. The festival is observed by many Hindu denominations, but is particularly prominent among the Vallabh Sampradaya (Pushtimarg), the Gaudiya Sampradaya of Chaitanya, and the Swaminarayan Sampradaya. The Annakut festival occurs on the first lunar day of Shukla Paksha (bright fortnight) in the Hindu calendar month of Kartik, which is the fourth day of Deepawali (Diwali), the Hindu festival of lights, and also the first day of the Vikram Samvat calendar.

Shrinathji acceps Mughal Shringar, Nathdwara, Rajasthan ताज़ बेगम का श्रृंगार (Taj Begum ka Shringar) Thakur ji wears a सूथन और पटका (Suthan, Stripped pyjamas and Pathak, the flowing matching dupatta). Suthan is a Mughal style of unisex pants. At the time of Shri Gusaiji, a number of imperial wives were Hindu. Akbar was modern and secular enough to allow them to keep their religion. Taj begum - (from her name, she could be muslim or of mix-marriage) was obviously interested enough in Pushti Marg to offer a manorath to Shri Nathji. Her manorath would have comprised of clothes, jewels, food and even kirtans to be sung to match the mood / bhav she had for Shri Nathji. Taj bibi must have been devoted enough to Pushti Marg / Shri Nathji for Gusaij to permit the manorath. Fact that the style of dress Taj begum offered is used still used during the summer means it must have proved popular among the laity and priesthood of the time. It is now established as a ‘regular shringar’ during the summer months when Shri Nathji - and other svaroops in Pushti Marg - wear suthan and a scarf with pearls and simple ornaments in the pagh. By introducing mughal / muslim dress in the haveli, Gusaiji conveyed his open minded, practical approach to the questions Hindus had about their allegiance to religion vs state vs employer. Your dress is an external matter and does not impact your inner being.
