Govatsa Dwadashi

dwadashi này là một lễ hội văn hóa và tôn giáo của người hindu

Govatsa Dwadashi is a Hindu cultural and religious festival that marks the beginning of Diwali celebrations especially in the Indian state of Maharashtra, where it is known as Vasu Baras. In Gujarat, it is celebrated as Vagh Baras and as Sripada Vallabha Aradhana Utsav of Sripada Sri Vallabha, at Pithapuram Datta Mahasamsthan in the state of Andhra Pradesh. In Hinduism, cows are considered very sacred and equivalent to mothers for providing nourishment to mankind.

In some northern states, Govatsa Dwadashi is referred to as, Vagh, which implies repaying one's financial debts, which therefore is a day, when businessmen clear their accounts books and do not make further transactions in their new ledgers.

The cows and calves are bathed, draped in clothes and flower garlands; and vermilion/turmeric powder applied on their foreheads. In some villages people make cows and calves of mud, dressing them and adorning them as such, symbolically. Aartis are performed. Wheat products, gram, and Mung bean sprouts are then fed to the cows, symbolizing the sacred cow Nandini, on earth, who was the daughter of Kamadhenu and lived in Sage Vasishtha's ashram.

Devotees sing songs praising the love of God Sri Krishna for cows, and being their benefactor. Women observe Nandini Vrat/fast for the well-being of their children and abstain from water and eatables. As cows are symbolic of motherhood and the chief source of livelihood in many villages in India, they are central to Diwali worship.
