Annakütta at Anyora gaon
Änyora village lies on the parikramä path two miles south of the town of Govardhana. The village of Jatipurä, or Gopälapurä, lies to the west of Änyora, on the other side of Govardhana Hill. Srimad- Bhägavatam describes how on the advice of Krishna, Nanda Bäbä and the other Vrajaväsis began worshipping Giriräja instead of Indra. It also describes how they performed the Annakütta festival for Giriräja here. They cooked many delicacies in their homes, filled hundreds of carts with milk, yoghurt, rabadi and other kinds of preparations, and presented them before Giriräja.
Shri Krishna Himself offered everything to Giriräja and at the same time assumed a huge four-armed form, with which He devoured all the offerings by extending His long arms. Begging for more to eat, He called out in great happiness, “Äno re, äno re! – Bring more, bring more!” Krishna folded His hands and said, “We are poor Vrajaväsis. Whatever we have, we have presented before You. Please be satisfied with this.” In His four-armed form, Giriräja drank the water of Mänasi-gangä, Kusuma-sarovara and other ponds, and exclaimed,
“Trpto ’smi, tåpto ’smi! – I am satisfied, I am satisfied!” and wiped His hands and mouth with His cloth. He told the Vrajaväsis to ask for a boon, and they simply requested this: “May this lälä of ours, this darling Krishna, always remain happy and live long.” When that four-armed form disappeared, Krishna asked the Vrajaväsés, “Did you ever receive darsana of Indradeva? Giriräja is very kind. He fulfils everyone’s desires.” After worshipping Govardhana, the Vrajaväsis considered their lives fully blessed.
This place has been named Änyora-gräma because it is here that Giriräja called out “Äno re, äno re!” The natural impressions of the Vrajaväsis’ bowls in the rocks of Giriräja can be found where the Annakütta was performed. Nearby is a "Bajani-Silä", a stone which emits a sweet sound when tapped with a piece of rock, or with a stick or a finger.
