Guindy National Park, a 2.82 km² (1 sq mi) Protected area of Tamil Nadu, located in Chennai, South India, is the 8th smallest National Park of India and one of the very few national parks situated inside a city. The park is an extension of the grounds surrounding Raj Bhavan, the official residence of the Governor of Tamilnadu, India. It extends deep inside the governor's estate, enclosing beautiful forests, scrub lands, lakes and streams. Guindy Park was originally a game reserve, then owned by a British citizen named Gilbert Rodericks and transferred to the Tamil Nadu Forest Department in 1958.

According to Hinduism, many Hindu deities are associated with a 'vehicle' or 'vahana,' which the deity would ride. This is the vehicle of Lord Yama (God Of Death - Refer en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yama ).
Other than the spiritual belief, this is actually a super utility animal.
1) The production of buffalo milk in the Asian-Pacific region exceeds 45 million tonnes annually of which over 30 million tonnes are produced in India alone.
2) Buffaloes are labor intensive and cost-effective. They are the most versatile of all work animals in the variety of tasks which they can be taught to undertake. All buffalo breeds have a strong milk/meat entity. However, presently the output of thousands of buffaloes is in the form of work energy rather than the direct provision of food as milk or meat. In economic terms, buffaloes are productive and efficient, especially in those agricultural countries where there is ample manpower and little motivation for mechanization.
3) Recent investigations and trials have convincingly established the fact that when a buffalo is fed well and managed for early slaughter ( at a liveweight of 350 to 450 kg ), a yield of palatable, high-grade meat can be obtained at a competitive cost. A buffalo carcass has less fat, less bone and a higher proportion of muscle than a cattle carcass.
