Gopashtami, a Hindu festival dedicated to cows and calves, is observed on the eighth day of the Kartik month (Shukla Paksha). The day celebrates the reverence of cows, seen as sacred animals in Hinduism, embodying purity, wealth, and life. Cows are believed to carry divine energy and are honoured as "Gau Mata" or "Mother Cow" in many traditions. The festival is linked to the worship of Lord Krishna, particularly his role as a cowherd. According to legend, Lord Krishna and his brother Balarama were tasked with herding cows for the first time on this day, symbolising their coming of age.
