Kamadhenu denoted as COW

answer Jan 6, 2015 by Shivaranjini
Kamadhenu is a cow, also known as Surabhi which in Hindu mythology described as the mother of all cows. She is a miraculous "cow of plenty" who provides her owner whatever he desires. Kamdhenu is generally depicted as a white cow with a female head and breasts or as a white cow containing various deities within her body.
