Cattle are considered sacred in various world religions, most notably Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism as well as the religions of Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, and Ancient Rome. In some regions, especially India, the slaughter of cattle may be prohibited and their meat may be taboo. In Hinduism, Kamadhenu, the miraculous 'cow of plenty' and the 'mother of cows' is believed to represent the generic sacred cow, regarded as the source of all prosperity. All the gods are believed to reside in her body, a form of Kamadhenu often depicted in poster art.

India: A common representation of a holy cow-often portrayed as 'Krishna's cow'-and calf,20th century

Descripción:

Traducción automática: El ganado se considera sagrado en varias religiones del mundo, sobre todo en el hinduismo, el jainismo, el budismo, el zoroastrismo, así como en las religiones del antiguo Egipto, la antigua Grecia y la antigua Roma. En algunas regiones, especialmente en la India, la matanza del ganado puede estar prohibida y su carne puede ser un tabú. En el hinduismo, se cree que Kamadhenu, la milagrosa "vaca de la abundancia" y la "madre de las vacas", representa a la vaca sagrada genérica, considerada la fuente de toda prosperidad. Se cree que todos los dioses residen en su cuerpo, una forma de Kamadhenu que a menudo se representa en los carteles.
