In the order a household actually does it, including what to set up beforehand.
Shape a mound from cow dung or mud in the courtyard, place a small Krishna figure on top, and surround it with tiny cow figures. Decorate with grain, flowers and small sugarcane pieces.
Bathe the cows and bullocks early in the morning, apply turmeric and kumkum with a tilak on the forehead, paint or decorate the horns, and garland them. Feed them first and only then eat.
Cook a spread of vegetarian dishes — the aspiration is 56 (chhappan bhog) or 108 in temples. Offer each to the Govardhan model and then distribute as prasad.
Walk around the Govardhan model seven times in the courtyard, or, at Govardhan in Braj, complete the full 21 km parikrama of the hill.
In industrial and workshop settings, machinery, tools and vehicles are cleaned, decorated with flowers and kumkum, and worshipped, followed by a community meal.
