Kalaburagi, Karnataka · Est. 2026
Pure gomaya,
pressed by hand,
dried by the sun.
Gaumaya cakes are made the way our grandmothers made them — no machines, no additives, just cow dung from local gaushalas, hand-shaped and sun-dried for havan, puja and organic farming.
Hand-pressed batch
Our Story
From gaushala to your ghar,
with nothing in between.
Gaumaya began with a simple belief: gomaya deserves to be treated as it always was — sacred, useful, and untouched by shortcuts. We work directly with gaushalas and local farmers around Kalaburagi district to collect fresh gobar, which our artisans hand-press into cakes using traditional techniques passed down through generations.
Every cake carries the marks of the hands that made it — the finger-press ridges you see aren't decoration, they're how the cake dries evenly and burns cleanly. No binders, no moulds, no shortcuts.
"Gau mata gives, we simply shape what she gives with respect."
