10 Must Know Significance of Giving Roti to Cow

Cows have a hallowed place in Hindu culture. Hindus believe that several gods and goddesses reside within the cow. The cow is also equated with a mother (gaumata) as it provides milk to us. For these reasons, cows are venerated in India, and in many parts of the country, eating their meat is considered to be a sin. In Hindu astrology, cow feeding is touted as an astrological remedy for various problems.

Cow feeding on Amavasya and giving jaggery to cows for marriage is practiced in Hinduism, as these are believed to bring many benefits. It is also a popular practice to feed bananas to cows, which is popular among many Hindu sects.
