Amavasya has long been kept as a day for daan and remembrance of ancestors, and feeding cows is one of the oldest ways households marked it. Doing it through a Gaushala means the offering reaches animals that genuinely need it rather than being purely ceremonial.
Practically, it also gives the shelter a predictable rhythm. Knowing that special feeding and supplements are funded each new moon lets the team plan extra jaggery, fodder and attention for the weakest cows on a fixed date.
How Your Seva Is Used
Your contribution funds the special Amavasya meal, the jaggery and fodder offered with it, and the puja held at Punya Gaushala on that day. Every rupee is recorded in the Punya app.
