Ghosala

Ghosala is a traditional animal shelter or cow sanctuary in India where cows and other livestock are cared for and protected, often due to cultural or religious reasons. These facilities provide a safe environment for animals that might otherwise be abandoned, neglected, or at risk of slaughter. Ghosalas often operate through donations and community support, emphasizing compassion and respect for animals, especially cows regarded as sacred in Hindu culture. They play a key role in animal welfare, promoting ethical treatment and offering a space for caregiving and conservation.
