A unique calendar featuring rare indigenous cow breeds, aimed at promoting their conservation and awareness, was launched on Wednesday at the Maha Kumbh.The calendar, released by Jaipur-based Namami Gau Mataram Foundation, was unveiled at Sector 8 on Veni Madhav Marg.Rahul Sharma, the founder of the foundation, said the calendar highlights 12 indigenous cow breeds, including Uttar Pradesh's Gangatiri, Maharashtra's Dangi and Deoni, Rajasthan's Kankrej, and Karnataka's Khillari, along with information on 24 other breeds.Emphasizing the importance of bulls, Sharma noted that their conservation is equally vital."To demonstrate their utility, I have set up a bull-powered grinding mill and oil press outside our camp. We will continue working to increase the practical use of bulls in daily life," he said.Sangeeta Patel, a visitor from Detroit, USA, expressed nostalgia upon seeing the traditional setup."I last saw such mills and presses in my childhood days in Gujarat. Watching them in action here brought back fond memories," she said.
