The concept in Hinduism is that the cow is a symbol of divine and natural beneficence.

The cow has also been linked to several gods, including Shiva (whose mount is a bull),

Indra, Krishna

The origins of cow worship can be traced back to the Vedic period (second millennium–seventh century BCE). 

The usage of the panchagavya, the five products of the cow—milk, curd, butter, urine, and dung—in rites of healing,

purification,  indicates the degree of respect accorded the cow. 

The cow was also associated with maternity and Mother Earth because her products provided foodon, the cow was associated with the Brahman or priestly class, and slaughtering the cow was sometimes compared with the severe crime of killing a Brahman (by Brahmans).

Cow slaughter was made a criminal offense by the Gupta emperors in the middle of the first millennium CE.he significance of cows in Indian society is firmly established in the country’s past as a Hindu majority country; we’ve compiled a list of 6 religious and cultural reasons for their relevance.

1.  Ahimsa

Ahimsa is a basic Hindu principle that is also found in Buddhism and Jainism. The meaning of ahimsa prohibits humans from harming other living beings, as all living creatures contain the spark of divine spiritual energy. 

2.  Lord Krishna

Lord Krishna’s childhood is spent in a cow farming community. Cows appear frequently in Lord Krishna’s life stories, which are considered as the practical value of cows to human civilization. 

The Bhagavad-Gita, Lord Krishna’s book of human life instruction, also teaches that caring for cows is a necessary human responsibility.

3.  Gopastami

This is a holiday dedicated to the celebration of cows, and it is one of the many festivals that make up the Hindu calendar. 

This event celebratesLord Krishna’s coming of age when his father entrusted him with the care of Vrindavan’s cows. Those who participate in the celebration bathe and clean cows, as well as give prayers and offerings to them, during Gopastami. This annual festival serves as a reminder of the significance of cows.

4.  Cows in everyday life

Cows are highly revered in India due to the practical applications of the milk and other products they produce. 

The nutritive value of cow’s milk contributes to the cow’s portrayal as a mother figure. Also, cow dung has long been used as a source of heat and cooking; and the five products of cows (milk, dung, urine, curd, and ghee) are all consumable. Cows’ five products (milk, dung, urine, curd, and ghee) all play essential roles in Hindu devotion (puja).

5.  As a mother figure, cows

Cows are revered by Hindus as a mother figure, and they are frequently referred to as “Givers of life.” Cows are associated with Aditi, the mother of Gods, who is frequently represented in the form of a cow since both Aditi and the cow are thought to possess nurturing qualities. As a result, the concept of killing or hurting a cow is fiercely condemned.

6.  Mahatma Gandhiji

Cow protection is claimed to be a central feature of Hinduism” according to Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi related cow preservation to the protection of the poor and vulnerable in his teachings, identifying cows as the “personification of innocence.” 

Gandhi’s teachings condemn the mistreatment of cows to such an extent that he claims that “no one who does not believe in cow preservation can be a Hindu.”

Vishwakarma Puja, also known as Vishwakarma Jayanti, is an important festival celebrated by the Hindu community. On this day, the divine architect or the architect of the Gods, Lord Vishwakarma is worshipped. The festival falls on the last day of Bhadra, known as Bhadra Sankranti. During this time, the sun leaves the Simha rashi (Leo) and enters the Kanya rashi (Virgo) so the day is also known as Kanya Sankranti Diwas.

As per Hindu religious belief, Lord Vishwakarma, regarded as the creator of the world, constructed Dwarka where Lord Krishna ruled. He is also credited with Sthapatya Veda, the science of architecture and mechanics.

According to legends, the son of Vastu Dev and Goddess Angisri, Lord Vishwakarma is also said to have constructed Ravana’s Pushpak Vimana, Lord Shiva’s Trishul, Indra’s Vajra (thunderbolt), Maya Sabha for the Pandavas, and Lord Vishnu’s Sudarshana Chakra. The famous Jagannath temple in Puri is also believed to be his creation. Other than this, he also built the city of Lanka and Indraprastha. In some texts, he is often stated to be the son of Brahma, whereas in others, he is called the son of Vastu.

Since Viswakarma is the creator of the world, it is believed by many that he existed before everything and he do not have any birthdays. They celebrate his commemoration day on Rishi Panchami Dinam on which his five children (Five Rishis) came together to pray to illustrious father.

Significance of Vishwakarma Puja

The festival is primarily observed by shops, factories, and industries. On this occasion, workers of factories and industrial areas worship their tools and offer prayers to Lord Vishwakarma to keep their livelihoods secure. They pray for the smooth functioning of machines and refrain from using their tools on the day of Vishwakarma Puja.

On this occasion, pictures and special statues of Lord Vishwakarma are installed in factories and workplaces. The day is mainly celebrated in the Eastern part of the country in states such as West Bengal, Assam, Odisha, Tripura, Bihar, and Jharkhand. India’s neighbor, Nepal also celebrates Vishwakarma Puja.
