According to Hindu scriptures, Lord Krishna lifted the Govardhan hill with his
little finger and asked everyone of Vrindavan to come under the hill to take
shelter from the rain and storm. The rain continued for 7 days and Lord Krishna
stood holding the mountain continuously for 7 days until Lord Indra realized his
mistake and stopped raining. But during these 7 days, he didn’t consume any
food. Then, everyone asked Maa Yashoda about the food habits of lord Krishna
and she told everyone that she feeds her Kanha eight times a day. At the end of
