Description

Kamadhenu is considered a miraculous cow who fulfills her master’s wishes. It is believed that she emerged from the churning of the cosmic ocean. Here a sage is worshipping her as she is depicted carrying various divinities in her body.

समुद्रमंथन से निकली कामधेनु को चमत्कारी शक्तियों वाली पवित्र गाय माना जाता है, जो अपने स्वामी की हर इच्छा को पूरा करती है। यहां उसके शरीर को बहुत-सी दिव्य झलकियों के साथ प्रस्तुत किया गया है।
