Cattle are mustered according to their value, ten yokes daily. The muster commences on Wednesdays, on which day double the usual number is inspected.
On the day of the Diwáli—an old festival of this country; on which the Hindus pray to the cow, as they look upon reverence shewn to cows as worship—several cows are adorned and brought before His Majesty. People are very fond of this custom.
