The festival of Vatsa Dwadashi is celebrated on the Dwadashi date of Krishna Paksha of Bhadrapada month. Cow and calf are worshiped on the occasion of this holy festival. This festival also comes in the month of Kartik and then this festival is also known as Bach Baras. In Hindu religious Puranas, all the pilgrimages are in Gaumata. It is believed that the mere sight of the Gaumata gives such a virtuous result, which is not attained even by performing big sacrifices, donations etc.

Importance of Vats Dwadashi-

According to mythology, after the birth of Lord Krishna, Mata Yashoda visited and worshiped Gaumata on this day. The Gaumata whom Lord Krishna himself used to graze the forest barefoot and who had named him Gopal and to protect him had incarnated in Gokul, then it is the religion of every person to protect and worship such a cow.

Gods and Goddesses and all the pilgrimages reside in the every parts of Gaumata.
Therefore Hindu scriptures tell that if all the gods and goddesses and ancestors are to be pleased together, then there is no greater ritual in the world than Gau Bhakti-Gauseva.
If you feeds the Gaumata, then it automatically reaches all the deities and according to the Bhavishya Purana, Brahma in the background of the cow, Vishnu in the throat, Shiva in the mouth Rudradev, in the middle all the gods and in the hair Maharishigan in the tail. Infinite serpent in tail, All mountains in hooves, Ganga YamunaAnd the rivers Lakshmi and the Sun and the Moon reside in the eyes.
