The calf has a mark on its forehead, which resembles a symbol of light. In honour of this unique feature, PM Modi has named the calf 'Deepjyoti'. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Modi shared his joy about the event, quoting from scriptures: "Gaav: Sarvasukha Prada."

हमारे शास्त्रों में कहा गया है - गाव: सर्वसुख प्रदा:'।

लोक कल्याण मार्ग पर प्रधानमंत्री आवास परिवार में एक नए सदस्य का शुभ आगमन हुआ है।

प्रधानमंत्री आवास में प्रिय गौ माता ने एक नव वत्सा को जन्म दिया है, जिसके मस्तक पर ज्योति का चिह्न है।

इसलिए, मैंने इसका नाम 'दीपज्योति'… pic.twitter.com/NhAJ4DDq8K

"It is said in our scriptures - 'Gaav: Sarvasukha Prada'.  There has been an auspicious arrival of a new member in the Prime Minister Family on Lok Kalyan Marg.  In the Prime Minister's residence, mother cow has given birth to a new calf, which has a symbol of light on its forehead. I have named it ‘Deepjyoti’," he wrote.
