("cow's
dwelling") A goshala is a rest home for elderly, infirm, and unproductive
cows in contemporary India, where they may dwell in peace and contentment for
the remainder of their lives.
Goshalas are often established and sponsored as religious
merit, in order to care for cows that would otherwise be killed or abandoned.
These structures are constructed as a gesture of respect for
cattle, which is one of Hindu culture's most common concepts.
