Mahadev Nandi Rescued – Severe Maggot Infestation, Ghazipur Village Delhi
On 5th March 2023, GauNandiSewa rescued a Mahadev Nandi from Ghazipur village, New Delhi suffering an extreme, deeply advanced maggot infestation.
Reverence in Stone, Absence in Practice
At temples across India, sculptors have spent centuries carving Nandi in marble and granite, monuments visited daily by devotees who bow before his stone likeness. Ghazipur village, New Delhi offered a brutal contrast on 5th March 2023: a living Mahadev Nandi found with an infestation so extreme and advanced that it had spread severely, a case among the most serious our team has ever answered.
An Emergency Beyond Routine Care
GauNandiSewa's animal rescue ambulance reached Ghazipur village and brought him in for immediate emergency treatment. An infestation this severe demands intensive, sustained intervention — thorough removal of the infestation, aggressive infection control, and constant monitoring, since a case of this magnitude carries real risk to his survival if not managed with total commitment.
Fighting for Him, Day After Day
He remains under intensive care at GauNandiSewa's hospital as treatment continues. No temple statue will ever face what he has endured. But for as long as it takes, he has a team refusing to let reverence stay confined to stone.
