GoShala or GauShala, a Sanskrit word, means the adobe or sancturay for the cows and its progeny as calves and oxen. In Sanskrit (and Hindi/Punjabi): गोशाला ; गौ+शाला Gau means Cow, Shala means a sanctuary (temple).
Shri Gaushala Sirsa is the sanctuary or the abode for old, sick, abandoned and stray animals, especially cows and its progeny. It is located in Dharam Nagari Sirsa (in the north Indian state of Haryana), about 260 km of New Delhi.
Apart from providing a home for the cattle, the Shri Gaushala also rescues the animals meant for illegal and merciless slaughtering, after being transported in cattle lorries under extremely cruel conditions, with no food and water for days, standing huddled together, stamped to unconsciousness or death – and often made to walk for miles with starvation.
Gaushala is an effort to care for these kind, innocent, gentle and lovely animals, that today are the victims and a gainful conduit for so many unlawful means.

• Shri Gaushala runs with the help of hundreds of volunteers.
• Shri Gaushala today cares for over 2000 animals – including cows, calves and bulls on a 15-acre campus.
• The Goshala is a purely social, volunteer and contributory effort.
