This video is the most sensational news in North India, the user further added to share the tweet to make it more viral in his message. There are so many other tweets with different messages which can be viewed here, here and here. So we investigated further to find out the truth about whether this cow is said to have three eyes.
What is the truth?
When we started our research with relevant keywords, we were able to see multiple pictures of the bull with the three horns as claimed. This bull has only three horns growing, and what looks like a third eye in the middle of the two eyes is the base of the third horn. It appears like an eye, which is actually a simple mark.
This bull was brought by Baldev Maharaj from Chattrapur to Ujjain Simhasta Mahagumba Mela held in 2016. The special animal has attracted a lot of curious visitors and pilgrims during the mela in Ujjain, a popular religious festival.
Especially, because the bull appeared in the form of Nandi, known as the vehicle of the Hindu god Shiva, it invited the attention of many tourists and devotees. It is said that people worshipped the unusual-looking bull as Nandi.
On May 1, 2016, Navbharat Times reported that three horned Nandi was the centre of attraction in Simhastha Kumbh.
However, no information is available on where this bull came from. But it is said that a farmer left the three-horned bull at the ashram.
Although the birth of creatures with unusual appearances is seen as rare, it cannot be denied that this happens in all living things. Cows are rarely born with three or four horns and three eyes. Even humans are born with four arms and legs.
