Looking at the history of mythology of Hindus, the people of Gokul and Vrindavan used to follow Lord Indra. They used to offer him large feasts and meals and his honor. Lord Indra is considered to be the God of rains and storms. People of Gokul and Vrindavan did all this to please him for timely rainfall for their harvest. But one day Lord Krishna opposed this pratha and asked the people to worship Govardhan Parvat as Govardhan Parvat used to provide them with food and not Lord Indra.
