The Karnataka government has asked all State-run temples to organise 'Gou puja' (cow worship) on October 26 in view of 'Balipadyami', as part of the Deepavali festivities, with an intention to "protect and nurture" this ancient practice of the Sanatana Hindu Dharma.
The country has its own triangular flag with an emblem of Paramashiva and Nandi and is called the 'Rishabha Dhvaja'.
