The house tends what lives with it. Photographs of the herd are still awaited. The pond and the paddy are already part of the public picture.
The Ashram is a working household in the fields, with a pond, a shrine, and cows in daily care. Other animals will be named here only when photographs or notes from the Ashram confirm them.

Cows and calves
Gau seva is daily household work: feeding, cleaning, watching, and keeping company. Cows are not a visitor attraction.
Visitors who wish to help should write or telephone first. Do not arrive with fodder or medicine unless it has been agreed.

Pond and water
A pond belongs to the Ashram grounds. Fish may live there as part of the water, not as a display.
The pond is not a leisure pool. Follow the guidance of the house.

Fields, trees, and the temple garden
Paddy country around Gopikantapur holds the white shrine. Plants and trees are part of the same life as puja and seva.
Walk the path quietly. Do not pick offerings from the shrine garden.

Goats, chickens, rabbits, and swans
These animals are not described as living here until the Ashram confirms them with notes or photographs. This page will not invent a menagerie.
TODO: confirm which animals are actually kept, and how they are cared for.
Support for animal care is received as an enquiry until a payment gateway exists. Cows are not photographed from stock libraries.
