A garland of Mallika flowers was worn, in front of it, fruits, dry fruits, clothes and various things were kept in 12 plates. A special arrangement of cow’s favorite fodder and Indie (animal feed) was made from above and what to say? The happiness on the cow’s face, she looked no less than a future mother.
