Actually, the festival of Govardhan Puja is celebrated every year on the next day of Diwali. On this day, Govardhan Maharaj, Mother Cow and Govardhan Parikrama have special significance. According to mythological beliefs, on this day Lord Shri Krishna protected all the Braj people and cows from the wrath of Lord Indra by lifting Govardhan Mountain on his little finger. With this he broke Indra's ego.
