Set within a 350-acre fruit orchard in Dahanu, Maharashtra, the 'Gaughar' occupies nearly 14 acres of a larger rural campus that includes a tribal school for 600 children and a skill development centre. More than an isolated structure, the gaushala forms part of a living landscape, one shaped by agriculture, learning, and care. Conceived as a complete reimagining of an existing cow shelter, the project reflects a shift in how spaces for animals are imagined: not as back-of-house infrastructure, but as environments that directly influence health, behaviour, and dignity.
