Gau Seva, Shradh & Tharpanam from Houston

Gau Seva and Shradh for families in Houston

Houston's Indian community stretches from the Mahatma Gandhi District on Hillcroft to Sugar Land and Katy. Many families here grew up feeding the cow before breakfast — and now live a long way from any goshala. We make the offerings in India in your family's names — so the day is never missed.
