Vaishnavi Gau Seva Gausansthan

Our Sankalp · since 2013

One cow, one promise.
Thirteen years later, thirty-five.

शुद्धता · सेवा · गौ-कृपा

Vaishnavi began the day we brought home one Gir cow named Saraswati and made her a quiet promise: that she would never know hunger, fear, or neglect. Thirteen years on, that promise is shared by thirty-five indigenous cows — and the families who let our milk into their homes keep it alive.

Our journey

From one cow to thirty-five

  1. 2013

    Saraswati comes home

    A loan from a temple trust buys our first Tharparkar cow. The promise begins.

  2. 2017

    The first ten

    A shed expansion, two Gir cows from Junagadh, and our first bilona ghee churn at scale.

  3. 2021

    Twenty-five cows, four hundred families

    We launch glass-bottled milk deliveries across Delhi NCR. The waiting list begins almost immediately.

  4. 2024

    Thirty-five and growing

    Cow adoption opens to the public. A new medical shed, fodder programme, and weekend visitor schedule make us a true sanctuary.

  5. Today

    Your kitchen, our gaushala

    Every order you place feeds, shelters, and protects our family. The dharma continues.

What guides us

Four values, four pillars

अहिंसा

Ahimsa

Non-violence in every choice. No cow is ever sold, hurried, or hurt. Even her end is gentle, on her own time.

सेवा

Seva

Service before profit. We feed thirty-five mouths first, every morning, before a single jar is sold.

शुद्धता

Shuddhata

Purity without compromise. A2 only, bilona only, no preservatives. If it isn't right by the cow, it isn't right by you.

धर्म

Dharma

Right action, every day. Transparent accounts, traceable milk, and a sankalp that does not waver.

Our breeds

Five indigenous breeds, one family

We keep only indigenous Indian cows — never cross-bred Holstein-Friesians or Jerseys. Every breed below is A2 by birth, drought- or heat-tolerant by inheritance, and has been part of Indian farming life for two thousand years or more.

Gujarat

Gir

A2 milk with high butterfat. Hardy, gentle, the classic Indian dairy breed.

Reddish, often white-patched. The most widely recognised indigenous Indian dairy breed. Distinctive convex forehead and pendulous ears — features shaped by climate, not breeding committees.

Punjab / Haryana

Sahiwal

India's finest dairy breed. Heat-tolerant, calm-tempered, consistently high-yielding.

Reddish-brown. A Sahiwal cow can produce milk in 40 °C heat that would shut down a Holstein-Friesian's lactation.

Rajasthan · Thar desert

Tharparkar

Dual-purpose, drought-resistant, deep-chested. The cow that survives where others can't.

White or grey. Named for the Thar Parkar region. Was nearly lost during Partition; conservation programmes brought the breed back.

Bihar · Sitamarhi

Bachaur

Compact, strong, traditionally a draught + dairy breed. Quiet temperament.

Greyish-white. Named for the Bachaur region near the Nepal border. Less famous than Gir or Sahiwal but every bit as important to local farming heritage.

Andhra Pradesh · Chittoor

Punganur

One of the smallest cattle breeds in the world. Dwarf stature, A2 milk with very high butterfat. Sacred in temple traditions.

Usually white or fawn. An adult Punganur stands about 70–90 cm at the shoulder — a 5-year-old child looks her in the eye.

Meet our family

Thirty-five names, thirty-five stories

Each cow at Vaishnavi is named, known, and loved. A few of them, below — one from each of our five breeds.

Be part of the family

Adopt a cow. Visit the gaushala. Share a meal.

For ₹4,999 a month you adopt one cow by name — and receive her milk, her photos, and a transparent account of her welfare. Or simply come and visit, any weekend.
