In Hinduism, several animals are considered sacred, including cows, elephants, monkeys, and snakes. Cows are revered for their association with agriculture and sustenance, symbolizing non-violence and motherhood. Elephants are sacred due to their connection with Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles. Monkeys, particularly associated with Lord Hanuman, represent devotion and strength, while snakes are venerated as symbols of fertility and protection.
