Former ZP chairperson of Krishna District Dr KN Rao and his family members donated two Ongole breed and a Kapila Cow and calf to SV Gosamrakhsana Trust in Tirumala on Monday in front of Srivari Temple in the presence of TTDs JEO Tirumala Sri KS Srinivasa Raju.

 

Speaking on this occasion, Sri Raju said following the clarion call given by TTD authorities to donate liberally for SV Gosamrakshana Trust as a mission to protect and preserve desi breeds, the donor has come with largesse and donated four cattle including two Ongole breed and a Kapila cow and calf worth around 20lakhs to Srivari temple. Thanking the donors he asked the philanthopists to join hands with TTD through cattle donations in this noble and sacred mission. "Cow is revered as "Gomatha" in Hindu religion and it becomes very responsibility of Hindus to protect the Cow", he added. He said there are over 1200 various species of cattle in SV Goshala.

 

Later donor, Sri Mohan Kumar said, that they have donated the cattle matching the occasion of 57th Birth Day celebrations of his father Dr KN Rao. "There are only a handful of Kapila breeds which are considered to be the best variety among the cattle left in our state. We had 10 of them out of which we have donated one to Annavaram Satyanarayana Swamy temple, another to Vellore Golden Temple and today we have donated to Lord Sri Venkateswara. The uniqueness is that both the cow and calf are Kapila(pure black in colour) genre only. In future we are ready to donate more number of Ongole breeds so that they will serve the purpose of various rituals being carried out in Tirumala temple", he added.

 

Goshala Director Dr Harinath Reddy, Temple Deputy EO Sri Munirathnam Reddy, Parupattedar Sri Ajay, donors Sri Vidya Sagar, Sri Srinu and others were also present.
