“This magnificent art piece depicts the Sacred Cow and its baby calf in a beautiful and symbolic representations of motherhood and the sacredness of cows in Indian culture. Crafted using the ancient lost-wax casting technique, these sculptures showcase the intricate artistry and cultural significance of Dhokra art.
Cow is considered sacred in Hinduism, symbolizing motherhood, abundance, and the Earth. Calf represents new life, innocence, and the nurturing bond between mother and child. Together they symbolize fertility, prosperity, and the continuity of life. Calves frolicking around their mother, representing youthful energy and playfulness.
The Kamdhenu cow, also known as Surabhi, is a divine bovine-goddess depicted in Hinduism as the mother of all cows and a symbol of abundance, prosperity, and generosity. Often portrayed as white with wish-fulfilling abilities, she holds a significant place in Hindu mythology and culture. According to legend, the Kamdhenu cow can grant any desire of her owner. This symbolism signifies the abundance and fulfillment of material and spiritual needs. As the mother of all cows, Kamdhenu is closely associated with the Earth and its fertility. She represents the nourishing and sustaining power of nature and motherhood. In Hinduism, cows are considered sacred animals, symbolizing purity, dharma (righteousness), and ahimsa (non-violence). The Kamdhenu cow embodies these sacred qualities and serves as a reminder of the importance of respecting all living beings.”
