Kamadhenu
, also known as
Surabhi
, is a divine bovine-goddess described in the Vedas
as Gou Mata (the mother of all cows). Kamadhenu is also known as Gayatri and is worshipped as a heavenly cow.
She is a miraculous "cow of plenty" who provides her owner whatever he desires and is often portrayed as the mother of other cattle and gives health, wealth, happiness and growth in the life.
In iconography, she is generally depicted as a
white cow containing various deities within her body. All cows are venerated in Hinduism
as the earthly embodiment of the Kamadhenu. As such, Kamadhenu is not worshipped independently as a goddess, and temples are not dedicated to her honor alone; rather, she is honored by the veneration of cows in general throughout the observant Hindu population.
