| Description: | India's annual "Festival of the Sacred Cows" includes the feeding, decorating, washing and worshipping of cows. It's also a public festival and the faithful celebrate at the fairgrounds.
A group of women gather around a cow so as to decorate it with flowers and homemade jewelry. Water is splashed on the cow's legs to wash them. Three cows eat from a troth. Worshipers light butter-oil candles. A large crowd gathers in a public square. Two boys hold the ropes of two large cows as worshipers walk around them. | |
