A Sacred Sanctuary
for Gau Mata
Our Goshala is a sanctuary for cows, providing a safe and nurturing environment for them to live out their lives in peace and dignity. We believe that cows are not just mere animals, but divine creatures that deserve our love and respect.
Among cows that produce milk, priority is always given to their calves. We are committed to the protection and preservation of cows, and strive to promote their welfare in every way possible through sustainable and ethical practices.

“Om Namaskar. With your cooperation, Shikeri Goshala is progressing — but the number of stray cattle keeps growing.”
Government assistance is becoming very insufficient while the cost of fodder, medicines, and worker salaries continues to rise. We request you to adopt at least one cow or participate in the fodder scheme according to your capacity. Your donation directly provides food, medical care, and shelter.
Note: When donating, please provide your Full Name, Address (city, state), and Phone Number for your donation receipt. All information is kept strictly confidential.
Choose Your Way to Serve
Every donation directly supports food, shelter, and medical care for 4,500+ rescued cattle at Shikeri Gaushala.

Feed Fodder
Feed cows to bring well-being, good fortune and happiness. One silage bale feeds five cows at once.
Adopt a Calf
Help care for a calf on your behalf. Ensure healthy growth and protection for a young Govansh.
Gau Daan
Gau Daan removes hurdles (doshas like nakshatra doshas) in life. A deeply auspicious act of Seva.

Every rupee counts. Even a small donation contributes to fodder, medicine, or a day's care for our cattle.
