Those are oxes from Rajasthan. Those Indian cattle with distinctively large horns are the Kankrej breed. For more info, read en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kankrej_cattle_and_Guzerat_cattle.

Those oxes with very large horns belonged to the ISKCON Ashram (aka the "Hare Krishna"). They were used to pull their cart around the Kumbh Mela grounds.
