Govatsa Dwadashi 2023: Govatsa Dwadash in the month of Bhadra, according to the Dwadashi date (Krishna Paksha), this festival honours Mother Cow. It is also referred to as Bachh Baras in certain parts of India. In addition to honouring the cow and her calf on this day, a decision is made to take care of the cow. The Hindu calendar states that the Dwadashi tithi of Krishna Paksha of Bhadrapada month begins at 9.28 pm on September 10 and ends at 11.52 pm on September 11 of the same year. In such a situation, it would be best to observe the fast and worship of Govatsa Dwadashi on 11th September. The best time for worship on this day is from 4:32 am to 6:32 am.

Importance of Govatsa Dwadashi:
It is said that Lord Krishna protects his devotees from all harm by being worshipped on this day. On this day, people fast and do worship in hopes of having a deserving child. The Bhavishya Purana states that the devotee experiences all pleasures as a result of this fast and eventually focuses in Gaulok for the number of years the cow has shed. The mythological story that gave rise to Bachh Baras states that on this day, Mother Yashoda had darshan and worshipped Mother Cow following the birth of Lord Shri Krishna.

In Hinduism, the cow is considered a sacred animal and symbolizes wealth, strength, and motherly love. It is believed to be the earthly representative of the divine and nourishing Mother Goddess, who represents fertility and bountifulness. Their milk is believed to have a purifying effect on human bodies. According to the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna is depicted as the protector of cows. He is said to have a deep affection for cows, and he is often depicted playing his flute surrounded by cows in a pastoral setting. He is believed to have shown the importance of cow worship through his actions and teachings, and cows were considered sacred and were never killed or mistreated in ancient Hindu society.
