Right now, by direct bank transfer to our Axis Bank account. The full account details, with copy buttons, are on the Donate page. Transfer from any bank app using NEFT, IMPS, RTGS or UPI-to-account, then fill the short form on the same page so we know who to thank.

₹299 is our working figure for one day of care for one cow: green and dry fodder, concentrate feed for animals who are recovering or nursing, clean water, caretaker time, and a share of routine healthcare. We have published the full reasoning, including what the figure deliberately excludes, in Why ₹299 a day.

Fill the receipt form on the Donate page after your transfer, with your name, nakshatra, gothram, email and mobile. Add the reference or UTR number from your bank app, or upload a screenshot of the payment. We match it against our Axis statement and email your receipt. It is not instant, because a human checks it.

We do not publish an 80G number, so please assume your donation carries no tax deduction. We will not imply otherwise on any page, email or receipt. The day an 80G number exists, it will appear here and on every receipt we issue.

Fill it whenever you notice, with the amount, date and reference number, and we will match it. If you cannot find the reference, message us on WhatsApp with the date and amount and we will look for it in the statement.

Yes, online checkout is planned. For now a bank transfer is the only route, which also means nothing sits with a payment gateway in between. The site will say so plainly the day that changes.

Yes. Kāmya Mitra is our community of people who give consistently, at ₹299, ₹999, ₹2,999, ₹5,999 or any level that feels right. Until automatic recurring payments are live, set a standing instruction in your bank app and tell us on WhatsApp so we group your receipts.

Yes. Use the Gift a Seva page for birthdays, weddings, gratitude or remembrance. The Sankalpa is taken in the name, nakshatra and gothram you give us, and the recipient can be sent a Seva certificate.

Each cow's yearly care is divided into twelve monthly shares. You take one or more months for a particular cow on the Adoption Wall. At the end of a month you sponsored we send you a photograph of her and a note on how she is doing, by WhatsApp to the number you gave us — not an automated report, a person writing to you. You are welcome to visit her at any time, and that remains the most honest report we can offer.

The photographs are real cows living at Kāmya, and no animal appears twice; we checked each one individually. The names and stories are placeholders while our team completes each resident's record, and the page says so openly. Your sponsorship reaches the herd either way, and we will never show you an animal we do not care for.

Around 200 at our gaushala in Toopran, Telangana. Our long-term commitment is care for 600 to 700, which is roughly ₹2 lakh of feed and care every single day.

She stays. Kāmya exists precisely for the animal whose productive years are over: the one most likely to be abandoned. Her worth does not end when her productivity ends, and no cow is moved on for being unproductive.

Godānam is the traditional offering of a cow. Pratyaksha Godānam is a direct donation into a responsible care arrangement with our safeguards; Paroksha Godānam is participating in its spirit by supporting a cow already in our care. Both are honoured. Details on the Godānam page.

Come and look. Visitors are welcome, and seeing the gaushala with your own eyes is a stronger audit than any report. Beyond that: every cow has a public profile, adopters receive photographs, and we publish our reasoning rather than only our results.

Yes, and please do bring them. A Seva day includes meeting the herd, supervised feeding and grooming, and time with the caretakers. Group sizes are capped so the animals stay calm. Plan it on the Visit page.

Our gaushala is at Toopran, Medak district, Telangana. Message us on WhatsApp through the Visit page and we will send directions for the day you are coming.

Yes. Birthdays, anniversaries, remembrance days and corporate Seva days can all be held at the gaushala with feeding, Go-Seva and a simple Prasadam lunch where available. Many families offer Anna Seva on a loved one's Shraddha Tithi; our calculator will find the date.

Then give something else. Feeding is Seva, cleaning is Seva, teaching a child to care is Seva, and offering your profession is Seva: veterinarians, farmers, designers, lawyers, accountants, teachers. See Go-Seva. There is no hierarchy of Seva.

It is computed from real Sun and Moon positions in your browser, using Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa, Amanta lunar months, and day values taken at local sunrise, in IST. The complete methodology is published, including where our figures can legitimately differ from your family almanac.

Usually because some observances are defined by the tithi at midnight or in the afternoon rather than at sunrise, and traditions differ on which rule applies. Where they differ, your family's Sampradaya and Purohit take precedence over this website, always.

No, to both. Kāmya offers calendar and Dharma information, not horoscopes, predictions or remedies. We will never tell you that an offering fixes a dosha or that Seva is required of you. Seva here is an offering of love, never an obligation and never a fix.

No. Every calculation runs entirely inside your own browser and nothing you type is uploaded. If you choose to save dates, they stay in your device's storage, and only sync anywhere if you deliberately press the sync button in My Seva.

Kāmya, Kāmadhenu Ādhyātmika Mahā Yagnam, is a living Mahāyajña for the cow: rescue, lifelong care, indigenous breed conservation and education. Not for a year and not for a generation. Nirantaram, Anantam.

Our registration details are not yet published on this website. We would rather leave that blank than print a number we cannot evidence. If you need them before you give, ask us on WhatsApp and we will send you what we have. Meanwhile, the strongest check available to you is to visit and look at the cows.

Corporate Seva days, herd-for-a-day sponsorship, fodder and medical Seva, and longer partnerships around breed conservation. Write to us through the Visit page and we will plan it with you.

Call or WhatsApp +91 99511 13251, 9am–7pm IST — WhatsApp is usually fastest, and every form on this site opens a conversation with us. Our gaushala is at Toopran, Medak district, Telangana, and you are welcome to come and see it.
