 Kartik month is seen as a sacred vaishnava month
Two very important events in this month particulary celebrated by 
Gaudiya, Vallabha and Swaminarayan Sampradays  are Govardhan 
puja/Annakut and Tulasi Vivha.  Goverdhan Puja rememebers the pastime 
of Sri Krishna lifting the Goverdhan Mountain, this day (Karttik 
shukla pratipad) which is the day after Deeplavalli is celebrated by 
creating a Mt goverdhan from Mud, rice or Halwa and doing puja to it.  
Also a huge varriety of Naivedya is offered to Bhagavan (annakuta).  

Tulasi Vivah or Tulasi-salagram kalyanam is the Wedding ceremony of 
Vrinda devi (tulasi) with Sriman Narayan (in the form of Salagrama), 
this is observed from Kartik Shukla Ekadasi to Kartik purnima.

I wanted to Know is these festivals are observed in Sri Vaishnava 
sampardaya, and if so how are they celebrated????
