Help Rebuild Govardhan Math, Puri
Destruction by Cyclone Fani
The Cyclone Fani which battered the East Coast of India from 2nd to 4th May 2019 caused heavy damage to Puri’s Govardhan Math, especially the Gaushala. The city of Puri, where the Math is located has a seafront and was one of the worst hit. The Math is less than a kilometre from the Puri Beach and was right in the path of the cyclone. The cyclone caused extensive damage to the buildings.
Help rebuild Govardhan Math Puri, Gaushala & parts of Math premises which have been damaged by #CycloneFani . Pls contribute to this fundraiser.
