Snake with bat's head and wings is a very tiny yet extremely dangerous creature! Slithering like a snake, flying like a bat, drinking blood like a vampire and poisonous like a viper. And also cute like a kitten due to its small size (fits into the palms of three-years-old kid's hand) and soft, fluffy fur.

Probably some of mosquitos and ticks worship this being as their bloody deity.

Sanctity of the cow, in Hinduism, the belief that the cow is representative of divine and natural beneficence and should, therefore, be protected and venerated. The cow has also been associated with various deities, notably Shiva (whose steed is Nandi, a bull), Indra (closely associated with Kamadhenu, the wish-granting cow), Krishna (a cowherd in his youth), and goddesses in general (because of the maternal attributes of many of them). The origin of the veneration of the cow can be traced to the Vedic period (2nd millennium–7th century BCE). The Indo-European peoples who entered India in the 2nd millennium BCE were pastoralists; cattle had a major economic significance that was reflected in their religions. Though cattle were sacrificed and their flesh was eaten in ancient India, the slaughter of milk-producing cows was increasingly prohibited. It is forbidden in parts of the Mahabharata, the great Sanskrit epic, and in the religious and ethical code known as the Manu-Smriti (“Tradition of Manu”), and the milk cow was already in the Rigveda said to be “unplayable.”
