Mark Your Occasion With Gau Seva

A birthday, an anniversary, a shraddh, a new home, a child's first visit. Families come to Sri Golok Dham to mark the day by feeding Gau Mata rather than by throwing a party.

  • • Fodder and jaggery for the whole herd in your family's name
  • • Puja and garlanding with a caretaker guiding you
  • • Photographs of the day sent to you afterwards
  • • Space for a small family gathering, by prior arrangement
