Gorakshan Trust

Rescue. Recovery. Lifelong Care.
A privately managed goshala dedicated to the lifelong care of rescued cows, buffaloes, goats, horses, and dogs, while nurturing the land, native biodiversity, and the ecosystems that sustain them.
Why we do what we do
Every animal that arrives here has a different story.
Abandonment, injury, old age, or neglect.
Our role is simple.
Provide safety, nourishment, veterinary care, and dignity for the rest of their lives.
Whom we care for

Cow

Buffalos

Goats

Dogs

Horses
A goshala is more than a place for animals.
It is an acknowledgement that all life exists in relationship.
With the earth, with water, with trees, with birds,
with insects, and with one another.
Our care follows those relationships.

Our Values
Stewardship
We believe we are caretakers, not owners. Our responsibility is to protect, preserve, and care for the lives entrusted to us.
Dignity
We believe we are caretakers, not owners. Our responsibility is to protect, preserve, and care for the lives entrusted to us.
Coexistence
We see animals, people, and the natural world as part of one interconnected whole.
Responsibility
Compassion is expressed through consistent care, thoughtful decisions, and a long-term commitment to both animals and the land.

A Quiet Place by Design
The goshala is intentionally maintained as a home, a private place of care.
We do not host public visits, publish photographs of the our animals,
or actively solicit public donations. This approach reflects the
values on which the goshala was established and continues to guide its stewardship.
