Many households also perform rituals to protect the cows from harm and seek blessings for abundance and prosperity. The day holds immense cultural and spiritual importance, and is celebrated with great enthusiasm and devotion.

The celebration of Vagh Baras is incomplete without the traditional feasting and sharing of sweets with family and friends. Various delicious dishes are prepared using dairy products to honor the cows. In addition to the rituals and customs, the day also signifies the bond between humans and animals, highlighting the importance of preserving and respecting all living beings.
