Today, the third day of Yamapanchak is being celebrated with cow worship

Kathmandu. On the third day of Tihar, that is, Yamapanchak, Hindu devotees are celebrating cow worship today by worshipping cows in their homes and offering them tasty foods. In Sanatan Hinduism, the cow is regarded as an extremely sacred and worship-worthy animal. Since the milk given by cows is considered as nutritious as a mother’s milk, there is a tradition of honoring them as ‘Gau Mata’ (Mother Cow). Because cows provide multipurpose items such as milk, dung, and urine, they have held special importance in religious, cultural, and agricultural life.

According to religious belief, it is believed that worshipping a cow properly and feeding it tasty foods brings merit and prosperity to the home. Although in some areas and communities of Nepal there is a tradition of performing cow worship on Kartik Krishna Aunsi itself (the morning of Lakshmi Puja), according to the scriptures, the rule is to perform cow worship at the end of Aunsi and the beginning of Pratipada.
