Krishna lifts Gowardhan mountain to save Vrindavan

Lord Krishna is said to have lifted an entire mountain named Govardhana at the age of just seven. Krishna did this to save the people of Vrindavana from the wrath of Lord Indra. Lord Indra is considered as rain God in India. Lord Krishna once advised his people to stop worshiping Lord Indra, and to start worshiping nature and mountains instead, as nature brings rain on earth, and not Lord Indra. Infuriated by this, Lord Indra sent a catastrophic storm and rain to Vrindavan village. In order to protect his village's people and animals, Lord Krishna lifted the entire Govardhan mountain in his small finger, to act as a shelter and umbrella.
