The cow is revered in Hinduism as a sacred animal, associated with several deities, including Krishna, who is often depicted as a cowherd. Including cows in Madhubani art thus symbolize divine blessings and spiritual well-being.The depiction of cows in these paintings is also a reflection of the agrarian lifestyle of the Mithila region.

Cows are integral to the daily lives of the people there, and their presence in art helps preserve and celebrate this cultural heritage. Hence cows often feature in Mithila paintings due to their deep-rooted connection to rural life and Hindu traditions.In this painting we are going to draw a beautiful cow feeding its baby calf.
