Cow & Calf Statue

 Vastu Shastra derives a lot of its inspiration from the Hindu scriptures like the Vedas. Hindus worship various animals as God because they see an incarnation of God in such animals. The cow is the most sacred of all animals for Hindus. Hence, the cow and calf statue is a common Vastu item found in almost all Indian homes. Before discussing the Vastu tips for placing the cow and calf statue, let us understand its significance in our homes as per Vastu.

                                         

Cow Vastu

As stated earlier, the cow or Kamadhenu, as it is called, is the most sacred animal according to Hindu culture. Kamadhenu is a divine cow originally residing in heaven. It appeared from the ocean during the ‘churning of the seas’. According to Hindu scriptures, Kamadhenu can fulfil all your wishes. Therefore, Vastu Shastra envisages keeping a Kamadhenu idol at home to bring wealth and happiness.

 Kamadhenu Prosperity

Kamadhenu is often seen along with its calf. In Hindu scriptures, it is generally depicted as having the body of a cow and a female head with several Gods within her physical structure.
