Kamadhenu the story behind the name
Here is the story behind the name Kamadhenu — where it comes from, what it means and why families still choose it.
Kamadhenu is the divine cow of plenty — the mother of all cattle, who grants every wish and from whom all nourishment flows. She too rose from the churning of the cosmic ocean, a treasure beyond price.
