Why do we celebrate Bahul Chauth?

In the scriptures, cow has the status of a mother. It is believed that women who worship cow get the happiness of having children and all the troubles coming to the children are destroyed. The story of Bahula Chauth is also related to the cow. According to the mythological story, once Shri Krishna thought of testing the cow Bahula.

He appeared in front of the cow Bahula in the form of a lion. When the cow Bahula saw the lion, she was ready to sacrifice her life, but she asked the lion for permission to feed her child and said that after this she herself would become the lion's food.

Seeing the love of the cow for her calf, the lion let her go but since Bahula had promised him that she would return after completing her work, Bahula cow did the same. Lord Krishna was pleased with Bahula's piety and devotion and he blessed Bahula that whoever worships you in Kaliyug, his children will never face any trouble. The children will be happy and prosperous. Since then, Kanha ji and cow are worshipped on Bahula Chauth.
