Once a married woman had ignorantly milled a calf named Ghaulo instead of milling “Ghauulo”, a traditional name for wheat grains. Scared, her mother in law hid the head of the calf away in the forest. When the villagers unearthed the truth they informed the chief of the village. Considering the heinous act was committed by the married woman in ignorance, the head declared that no one would make any milk products, eat wheat items or anything that needs to be cut. Only millets and steamed green gram are to be consumed. Another popular legend associated with Bor choth- There was a cow named Bahula who faced a lion on the way home to feed her calf. The hungry lion intimidated her and made it clear that he wanted to eat the cow. Scared, the Cow gathered some courage and said she needs to feed her calf. Once done she will come back and then he can have her. The lion let her go and awaited her return. After feeding the calf she returned and surprised the lion. The lion was shocked to see her commitment and let her go. Physical strength could not stand in the way of the cow’s love for her calf.
