Sacred Cow and Calf

As most people know the cow is a sacred holy animal in the Hindu faith. It is not eaten nor are its products sold or eaten. In Kathmandu it is not at all unusual to see several wondering the footpaths and streets. Even at one of the busiest junctions in the city they will have "right of way". There will be no road rage, no shooing them off, cars and bikes will simply get around them. If your accident involves one of these animals you are in big trouble. The fruit market in the background of this picture and all other city users simply have to share the city with the Sacred cow.
