According to mythological accounts, Brahma created the               Brahmins and the Cow at the same time, the Brahmins were to      recite Vedas and scriptures while the cow was to afford ghee          (clarified butter) for burnt-offerings in religious sacrifices. The     cow is deemed to be the mother of gods and is declared by            Brahma to be a proper object of worship. The unclean places are purified with cow-dung and in rural areas still the cow-dung is to be used to rub the ground of the doorway, which is the first act in the                                                                                                morning.                                                                                     
                                   
Agmongst orthodox Hindus she is worshipped on the first of           VAISHAKH, when Brahma created the cow. The milkmen paint   the horns and hoofs of their cattle yellow or saffron and bathe      them in the river. Whoever kills a cow or allows another to kill it, shall rot in hell, as many years as there are hairs upon his body.   A child born under unlucky stars is passed under the body of a     cow to offset the effects.

KAMADHENU - THE MOTHER OF ALL COWS

Moreover cow plays a very important role in the cult of god Krishna. It follows the cowherd Krishna through his life on earth and also symbolizes with its four legs the four Vedas of the Hindus. Every part of cow's body has a religious significance. Its horns symbolize the gods, its face the sun and the moon, its shoulders Agni, the god of fire, and its legs the Himalayas.

Cow also symbolizes Dharma itself. It is said to have stood steadily upon the earth with its four feet during the SATYUG (world's first age of truth), upon three feet during the, TRETAYUG (the second stage of less than perfection), upon two feet during the DWAPARYUG (the third stage of dwindling and disappearing perfection) and only on one leg during KALIYUG (the fourth and current age of decadence).
