The festival is also known as Gopashtami or Govardhan Puja. It is celebrated on the eighth day of the Krishna Paksha (dark fortnight) of the month of Bhadrapada (August-September).

The festival is dedicated to Krishna, the eighth incarnation of Vishnu. According to Hindu mythology, Krishna once lifted the Govardhan mountain to protect the cowherds and their cattle from the wrath of Indra, the king of the gods. On Bhagta Parba, people celebrate Krishna’s victory over Indra and pay homage to the cow, which is considered to be a sacred animal in Hinduism.

On the day of the festival, people bathe their cattle in the river or in a pond. They also decorate their cattle with flowers and garlands. After the bath, the cattle are worshipped by offering them food and prayers. In some parts of Jharkhand, people also organize cattle races and other competitions on this day.

Bhagta Parba is a major festival in Jharkhand. It is a time for people to celebrate their love for cattle and to express their gratitude to them for their contributions to human life.
