In India there are several Goshalas in many parts running by temple authorities, charitable & voluntary organisations and individuals.

Hindu people considered Cow as sacred and they are worshipping the Cow.

They are Calcutta Goshala label & Goshala at Sambar Lake, Rajasthan.






These are my photos taken at Goshala in Dwaraka Tirumala temple.

The Cow Temple Benares vintage postcard



This is The Cow Temple Benares vintage postcard in my collection.

Benares(Varanasi) is one of the India's famous Pilgrimage place to Hindus. Hindu people consider to visit Holy Varanasi(Benares) at least once in their life time. In Benareas there will be many ancient temples (Kashi Vishwanadha temple & many other nearly 500 temples across Benares) and also Sacred Bathing Ghats across the Ganges(Ganga) river in Varanasi.
