Goshala in Karnataka

In Vedic tradition, a cow is referred to as Gou Maata, and it is not just an animal that gives us milk, but it is also venerated and given the dignity of a mother.

The Go-Mutra (cow's urine), cow dung, cow milk, and other cow products have religious and therapeutic significance. Before religious events, such as bathing a deity for Abhishek, cow dung and cow urine were traditionally utilised for cleansing. Cows, on the other hand, have become milk vending machines as dairy operations and products have become increasingly commercialised.
