Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav celebrated Govardhan Puja with traditional fervor at his Bhopal residence, engaging in rituals of cow worship and service, known locally as 'Gau-Seva', to underline the cultural significance of the occasion.

The Chief Minister personally fed chapattis to the cows and adorned them with peacock feathers, conveying prayers for the state's prosperity.
