The High hump, hanging dewlap & invisible solar plexus chakra are the specialties of Indian cow breeds.

All Indian cows & bulls have a hump on their back. This hump has a specific vein called Suryaketu Nadi. The Nadi (vein) absorbs healing energies and radiation from the sun, moon, and all luminaries from the atmosphere and nourishes the cow products like milk, cow urine, dung, ghee (clarified butter), etc., making them superior in quality. This hump is also advantageous in carrying heavy loads. 

Also, Indian cows develop a fold of loose skin hanging below the neck. 

Dewlap provides high heat resistance, making desi cows & bulls sustainable in all environments. 

Indian cows can be easily identified by simply observing these features.
