This is the standard practice in South Karnataka. All the grha pravesha functions have had this. When a cow is not available, they will have to do with a representation ( a silver govu) for example.
The Library of the Sakya Monastery, southern Tibet, built in 13thCE, one of the largest collection of Tibetan and Indic manuscripts and block-printed books, over 44,000 texts, shelves reach height of 10 meters. Cataloguing began in 2005...
Controversy is only in the minds of the Liar and Naxal Minute. Neither those who believe in the Daiva, nor other Hindus who have never seen a Bhutada Kola ritual before, have any issue with understanding it as a very Hindu(for the lack of a better word) ritual & form of offering.
Weeks after upper caste Vanniyars denied entry to Dalits into a temple run by Tamil Nadu govt's HR&CE dept, the govt has sealed the temple because talks between the two communities have failed. Upper Caste Hindus refuse to allow Dalits inside the temple.

ಅಗಸರ ಕತ್ತೆ, ದೊಂಬರ ತ್ಯಾಗ comes to mind. Note it is said in the way of a proverb🙏.Who are these people to "donate" our temple treasures?
Folks - remember it takes ages to develop a civilization but only years to destroy it.
For those who ask why temples were let to be destroyed - remember the evil Malik Kafur was in South India for 2-3 years but was able to destroy countless temples. Because hate has no bounds.
Those who were around late 1970s/early 1980s know how Tamil Dravida parties wanted Bengaluru to be made a union territory & removed from Karnataka.
Nonsense dreamers now want a union with such folks.🤦🏽♂️

Being proud about Pulikeshi, Nripatunga, or Rajaraja is great. But let's remember these kings/kingdoms did not act as the linguistic states of today.🙏
Most (at least the successful ones) followed principles of Arthashastra,Smriti & Puranas- of not enforcing their languages.

Want to read books like Ramayana/Mahabharata? follow the steps:
1. Read in Samskrta if you can
2. Read an abridged version translated into an Indian language, ideally your mother tongue
3.Look for Valmiki/Vyasa in title
3.Avoid fan-fiction/names like Devdutt/Amish like plague 🙏
If you see a claim there were no free standing temples before 5th C, do not believe! Many such temples have not survived because they were built of brick & wood.
Many such have been excavated (exposing the base & layout)at Talakadu, Talagunda etc dating from Kadamba & Ganga

Eat your words now. Because the cat is out of the bag - about the immigration fraud , and threats - by Swati Sawant (and who knows, who else was involved! - It does not look like that can be pulled off by one person) - A big conspiracy may have been in effect.
Hinduism is exploitation & murder of Dalits anywhere.
