Why is Annakoot Festival celebrated?

Once Indra got angry and caused torrential rain in Brajmandal. To save the people of Braj from this rain, Shri Krishna had done the honor of Indra by lifting the Govardhan mountain on his little finger for 7 days. Under that mountain for 7 days the gop-gopikas along with all the villagers lived happily in its shadow. Then Brahmaji told Indra that Vishnu had taken birth in the form of Shri Krishna on the earth, it is not proper to have enmity with him. Knowing this, Indra Dev apologized to Lord Krishna. Lord Krishna placed the Govardhan mountain down on the 7th day and ordered to celebrate Annakoot festival by performing Govardhan Puja every year. Since then this festival started being celebrated as 'Annakoot'.
