Sacred Cows: A Symbol of Reverence and Respect
Forget about ordering a Whopper in India. Here, the reverence for cows reaches such heights that even Tuk Tuk drivers, while ferrying passengers, will pull over mid-ride to purchase flowers and food. However, these offerings aren’t for themselves; they’re intended for the cows they encounter along the way.
Cows are omnipresent in India, strolling down streets, frolicking on beaches, and occasionally even boarding buses. This widespread coexistence arises from the deeply ingrained reverence for cows in Hinduism, where they symbolize Mother Earth and are held in the highest esteem.
