Making 'Kadhi' on Govardhan Puja is an age-old custom as it is believed to be a favourite dish of Lord Krishna. The dish, made with gram flour (besan) and curd, is believed to represent purity and balance, as gram flour reflects the Earth’s bounty, while curd represents freshness. 'Kadhi' is considered 'sattvic' and thus ideal for consumption following the rituals.
