Gomatha also known as Kamadhenu, Surabhi, Shaval, Aditi in Sanskrit, is a divine bovine-goddess described in Hindu Religion as the mother of all cows. She is a miraculous "cow of plenty" who provides her owner whatever he desires and is often portrayed as the mother of other cattle as well as the eleven Rudras. In iconography, she is generally depicted as a white cow with a female head and breasts or as a white cow containing various deities within her body.

Hindus worship Cow as the most sacred animal and also believe that cow to be not created by Brahma Deva, the creator but whereas appeared from a Yagna Kundam when Devatas did a Yagnam.

The milk of a cow is believed to promote sattvic (purifying) qualities. The ghee (clarified butter) from the milk of a cow is used in ceremonies and in preparing religious food. Cow dung is used as fertilizer, as a fuel and as a disinfectant in homes. Modern science acknowledges that the smoke from cow dung is a powerful disinfectant and an anti-pollutant. Its urine is also used for religious rituals as well as medicinal purposes. The supreme purified material, panchagavya, was a mixture of five products of the cow, namely milk, curd, ghee, urine and dung. The most common word for cow is GHO, cognate with the English COW and Latin BOS, the Sanskrit word for cattle is PASU.

Cows are the foremost of all living things. Themselves sacred, they are the best of cleansers and sanctifiers. People should cherish cows for obtaining prosperity and even peace. Cows are said to represent the highest energy both in this world and the world that is above. There is nothing that is more sacred or sanctifying than cows.

Cow is the most sacred animal and its life itself is totally dedicated to mankind in many ways. According to the Holy Scriptures, thirty three crore (crore is koti that is categories) Devathas reside in the Cow. That is also a reason why Cow is worshiped as the holy deity, Gomatha.
