Mahadev Nandi Rescued – Steel Can in Mouth, Salarpur Noida

Denied the Nourishment Annapurna Promises

Annapurna, the goddess of nourishment, is worshipped across this country as the one who ensures no living being goes hungry. It is a cruel irony, then, for an animal to starve not from scarcity but because something as small and man-made as a discarded steel can has sealed his mouth shut. On 30th May 2020, GauNandiSewa received a request from Salarpur, Noida about a Mahadev Nandi baba in exactly that condition — unable to eat or drink at all, a steel can wedged firmly in his mouth.

Three Hours of Patient, Careful Work

Freeing him took three hours of effort — approaching him calmly enough to work safely, then using a tool to carefully extract the can without injuring his mouth further in the process.

Released to Live Freely, Like Before

Once the can was removed, he was released to return to his life exactly as it was before — free, unharmed, and finally able to eat and drink again. Not every rescue ends with a long hospital stay; sometimes it simply ends with an animal walking away whole.
