Anakut pujan

On fourth day of diwali Annakoot pooja is completed. Food hillocks are made on this day, which represent the Mount Govardhan. On goverdhan day mounds of food items are made representing mountain or parvat and its pooja is done. Therefore the day also got the name – Annakut – 'Anna' meaning food and 'kut', mountain. The ann parvat pooja also denotes annapoorna poojanam.

Individuals offer variety of food ceremoniously raised in the form of a mountain to their favorite deity. Innumerable varieties in most cases 56 (chappan bhog) or 108 of food and delicious sweets are made and provided to Lord (bhagawan) vishnu.
