Cows are sacred animals to Hindus and you will see them literally everywhere! Cows like the one beautifully adorned pictured here are often seen in markets and village fairs.

 

In Hinduism, the cow is a symbol of wealth, strength, abundance, selfless giving and a full Earthly life

 

India has approximately 30 per cent of the world's cattle and there are 26 distinctive breeds of cow in India.

 

The hump, long ears and bushy tail distinguish the Indian cow from those elsewhere
