Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the arrival of a new member to his household on Saturday. The addition is a healthy calf born to a cow already residing at the Prime Minister's residence at 7 Lok Kalyan Marg.
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."
"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.
The Prime Minister's post was accompanied by a video showing him welcoming the newborn calf with prayers and affection. The footage shows Modi gently petting and playing with the calf, even planting kisses on its forehead. The video ends with Modi holding the calf and strolling through the garden at his residence.
