Shri Krishna, as a child then asked them why they are pleasing Bhagwan Indra by doing Puja.
One of the villagers explained to Krishna that this is done every year to please Bhagwan Indra so that he continued to grace the people of Braj by providing rain as and when required

Krishna disapproved of it and wanted to teach a lesson to Indra that it's the Dharma of Indra to provide rain for the people without any Puja
He convinced Brajvasi that they should stop performing Puja for Indra. They should not conduct sacrifices for any natural phenomenon.

Instead, they should honor Govardhan Parvat, whose fertile soil provided the grass upon which the cows and bulls grazed And also honor the cows and bulls who provided milk and plowed the lands.
Indra got enraged with the inhabitants of Braj that instead of worshipping him, the King of Devas, they are worshipping Govardhan Parvat.
To punish them, he sends terrible rain clouds to flood the land of Vrindavan.

Calling the Samavartaka clouds of devastation, lndra ordered them to lash upon Vrindavan with torrents of rain and thunderstorms and cause extensive floods that would destroy the livelihood of the inhabitants.
Frightened people of Vrindavan goes to Krishna for help. To protect villagers from this calamity, Krishna lifted Govardhan Parvat on his little finger and had the entire village come under the hill to take shelter from the storm. x.com
For seven days and nights, he held up Mount Govardhan, providing a giant umbrella to shelter the Vrindavan from the torrential rain.
Realizing his blunder, Indra called back the clouds of devastation. The sky became clear again and the sun shines brightly over Vrindavan.

Shri Krishna demonstrated that Devtas is present in nature, in trees, plants, flowers, animals etc. Therefore to worship Devtas, one should honor and take care of nature. One should be grateful towards nature for providing all the necessary things required for sustaining life.
