Calf Born with 3 Eyes in Tamil Nadu, Worshipped as Shiva's Incarnation - video

Animals, especially cows, have been traditionally considered sacred in the Hindu culture and have symbolic significance as the vehicle of gods. They are believed to have great connection with the gods and occupy great importance in Indian myths, with some temples devoted just for their worship.

'Gopujas' are also performed in various parts of India during festival seasons to worship cows.
