Devotees worship the mother cow, considered the most nurturing creature on this earth, on this day. Vasu Baras is intensively celebrated in Maharashtra and Gujarat. In North India, the festival is known as Govatsa Dwadashi. Although the names of these two festivals differ, their essence remains the same.
The day dedicated to sacred cows is auspicious as devotees vow to protect them apart from worshipping them. Traditionally, devotees offer food to the holy animal, adorn them and apply turmeric and tilak on their foreheads with kumkum.
