Kathmandu. The fourth day of Tihar is being celebrated today by worshiping cows and eating sweet dishes.

There is a tradition of worshiping the cow as a sacred animal in Hinduism. The cow is honored as a mother cow because of the belief that the milk given by the cow is as nutritious as the mother’s milk. It also has special religious and cultural significance as milk, cow dung and cow dung are obtained from the cow.

President Ram Chandra Poudel and the general public have worshipped the cow today. Poudel has worshipped the cow at the President’s House, Sheetal Niwas.

People are also worshiping cows.
