Days after the Janmashtami holiday, Rishi Sunak, a British candidate for prime minister, and his wife Akshata Murthy, the daughter of Infosys founder NR Narayanamurthy, held a 'Gau Pooja' (cow worship) in London. As preparations are made for the pooja, Sunak, a finalist in the competition to become the next British prime minister after Boris Johnson, can be seen standing next to the cow. Sunak can also be seen offering a cow's 'aarti'. The former British chancellor can be seen holding a metal tumbler, donning a saffron scarf, and giving holy water to a cow. Social media users have been praising Sunak for showcasing Indian culture and tradition after seeing the viral video, which was shot in a cow enclosure in London.
