Bemetara: Govardhan Puja is being celebrated in Chhattisgarh today on the second day of Diwali. On this day, Yaduvanshis in the village make Govardhan from cow dung and worship it. On the day of Govardhan Puja, Yaduvanshis put a special kind of ornament around the neck of cows, bulls and buffaloes which is called Sohai and Bhagar. Cows, bulls and buffaloes look very attractive after wearing these ornaments.&nbsp;Sohai and Bhagar ornaments are made using peacock feathers, cowries, jute rope, coloured plastic rope and pieces of coloured cloth. It is worn by cows, bulls and buffaloes on the day of Govardhan Puja.&nbsp;Sohai made with hands: After Dussehra, the raw material for making Sohai starts selling in the market.

Raut Nacha is very heroic and captivating. In exchange for Sohai and Nacha, the cowherds gift money, food and clothes to the Raut. The Raut makes a small ball of cow dung and keeps it in the given food. While the houses and stores with that cow dung ball mixed with food, he recites couplets.&nbsp;Saint Rajiv Lochan Das said that in Indian culture, cow is called mother, which means it is the mother of the five elements and no auspicious work can be done without cow.
