Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday announced the arrival of a new family member — a calf named Deepjyoti.
“A new member at 7, Lok Kalyan Marg! Deepjyoti is truly adorable,” the Prime Minister posted in X. Modi said a white mark on its forehead was a mark of light.
Posting images of the arrival of the calf, and another where he is seen sitting for puja with the calf in his lap, he said, “It is said in our scriptures — ‘Gaav: Sarvasukha Prada’ (the cow is an eternal giver of happiness). There has been an auspicious arrival of a new member in the Prime Minister House Family at Lok Kalyan Marg. In the Prime Minister’s residence, our beloved mother cow has given birth to a calf, which has a symbol of light on its forehead. Hence, I have named it ‘Deepjyoti’.”
In the 42-second video shared by the Prime Minister, the new guest who arrived at his official residence is seen playing around the house and cuddling with Modi.
The Prime Minister maintains a gaushala at his official residence. He feeds cows at his residence on the occasion of Makar Sankranti and other auspicious occasions.
