On July 13, 2024, ISKCON Butwal held a paddy planting program to provide the required straw and grains for the cows and devotees. One hundred fifty devotees participated in the program, which aimed to promote sustainable farming practices and self-sufficiency in the community. Butwal is a city in the Rupandehi District in Lumbini Province, Nepal, which lies between the Terai plains and the beautiful Chure hills.
ISKCON Butwal also cares for a goshala with more than 300 cows. “The enthusiasm of the devotees was truly remarkable as everyone came together on a single day to meet the temple’s needs,” said Karandhara Das, Temple President. “The planting is organized as a community festival which includes kirtan and prasadam at the end of the day.”
