One of the most important things the Hindu community knows is that they worship cows and call them the mother of the gods. Thus, Hindus get used to raising cows inside their homes for blessing, and even ban slaughtering and eating their meat and not using their skin or anything, and when one of them commits a sin, they kneel down on the ground and pass under it after eating milk for the purpose of obtaining forgiveness .
