Reason

Cow is sacred animal in Hindu religion

Cows, in particular, are revered as sacred in the Hindu religion. The animal is associated with several deities in ancient scriptures and is thus worshipped. The cow is also a symbol of divinity and its derivatives are used in Ayurvedic medicine. Furthermore, the restaurant's selling point is chemical-free food and a plant-based diet, which is a growing trend globally to prioritize health.
