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 sea front and was one of the worst hit. The Math is less than a kilometer from the Puri Beach and was right in the path of the cyclone. The cyclone caused extensive damage to the buildings.

Goal of this Campaign

The goal of this campaign is to revive the damaged buildings and restore them to back functioning order. Though normalcy is yet to return, we estimate that a sum of INR 50 lakhs will be required to repair and restore the following buildings/facilities. Money collected will be transferred to the Poorvamnaya Jagadguru Shankaracharya Dharmik Avm Punyartha Nyas.
Estimate of Works:
The Gaushala (Cow Shed) itself has a big area and there are three sheds covering 15,000 sq ft.
