In Hindu society, the cow is revered as a holy beast, so it should come as no surprise that India produces more milk than any other country in the world.

A visit to an ancient cheese market and a demonstration showing how curd is used to make the cheese and the city's distinctive Chennai sweets is followed by a very colorful family celebration. Finally, he visits a typical buffalo dairy.
