Horse worship : ウィキペディア英語版
Horse worship

Horse worship is a spiritual practice with archaeological evidence of its existence during the Iron Age and, in some places, as far back as the Bronze Age. The horse was seen as divine, as a sacred animal associated with a particular deity, or as a totem animal impersonating the king or warrior. Horse cults and horse sacrifice were originally a feature of Eurasian nomad cultures. While horse worship has been almost exclusively associated with Indo-European culture, by the Early Middle Ages it was also adopted by Turkic peoples.
Horse worship still exists today in various regions of South Asia.
==Bronze Age==

In India, Horse worship in the form of worship of ''Hayagriva'' dates back to 2000 BC, when the Indo-Aryan people started to migrate into the Indus valley.〔Gavin Floyd (1996), ''An introduction to Hinduism'', Cambridge University Press〕 The Indo-Aryans worshipped the horse for its speed, strength, and intelligence.〔Originally from = University of Michigan〕 To this day, the worship of Hayagriva exists among the followers of Hinduism.〔(Jagannath Cult in North - East India ) by Prof. Byomakesh Tripathy and Dr. Prabhas Kumar Singh〕
