Why Does Chappan Bhog Consist of 56 Items?
In order to keep Lord Indra, the god of storms and rain, happy and grant them timely rain and a healthy harvest, the farmers of Vrindavan used to feed him lavish meals. Little Krishna thought that this method was unjust to farmers. He ordered them to discontinue serving this food. Lord Indra became enraged by the lack of a lavish feast and unleashed a hailstorm on the tiny village of Vrindavan.

It rained nonstop for days, which caused a flood.
