For India's millions of Hindus (at least 80% of the population ), respect for animal life is a powerful aspect of their belief system, and in India it seems that one animal in particular commands the respect of the masses.
The COW is a sacred animal.
They are protected, and you can find them roaming everywhere!
Seriously, everywhere.
A small sample of the cows we saw and photographed:
(We felt pretty silly taking pictures of cows, but these guys are special, right?)
This guy was out for a morning walk in Goa.
A cow and dog (in the shadow) keeping an eye on a boat.
Sunset stroll on Palolem beach in Goa.
On his way to platform 2 at the Chittorgarh train station.
A truly holy cow at the Meera Temple in Chittorgarh.
Hangin' in a Bundi alley.
Water buffaloes (whatever, they are cows) at a ghat on the Ganga.
What are you doing here?
What are you doing here?
At first it was quite novel to see cows everywhere, but after stepping in cow poop at least once a day, it got a little old...actually, a lot old.
We literally had to walk with our eyes on the road or else...!!
The End.
