In Indian culture, Gau Mata (the holy cow) holds a special and revered place. Many Indian festivals are celebrated either with Gau Mata or in connection to her, highlighting her spiritual and cultural significance.

These festivals are also diligently celebrated at the Rawatpura Sarkar Gaushala, where traditions are honored with devotion. Festivals such as Govardhan Puja, Gopal Krishna Janmashtami, and all the Ekadashis are closely associated with cows in various ways. Rituals like Gau Puja (cow worship) and offering specially prepared food to cows are central to these celebrations, linking Indian festivals directly with Gau Mata and showcasing her sacred role in Indian tradition.

At Rawatpura Sarkar Gaushala, during Govardhan Puja, a special Gau Puja is performed followed by the Annakut (grand food offering). On Gopal Ashtami, children actively participate in decorating and serving the cows, making it a lively and devotional celebration.

Moreover, on every Ekadashi, Amavasya (new moon), and Purnima (full moon), cows are served special meals consisting of fruits, vegetables, jaggery (gur), and roasted chickpeas (chana). These acts are not just rituals but expressions of deep sensitivity and compassion toward the cows.

Such heartfelt observances beautifully sustain the bond between Gau Mata and Indian festivals, and through this bond, we reflect our cultural richness and spiritual prosperity.
