Shree Nasik Panchavati Panjrapole

Shree Nasik Panchavati Panjrapole is right across from the Nimani Bus Stand in Panchavati. Since we are right by the bus stand, it’s always very busy outside. There are people coming and going at all hours. We have a lot of space here for the animals we look after. It’s a very old institution and the buildings show that history. We spend most of our time feeding and cleaning up after the cows. It’s a lot of physical labor, like hauling hay and moving buckets of water. The sounds of the buses honking outside mixes with the sounds of the animals inside. We don't have many modern office things. There is a small room where we keep the records in big ledger books. People from the city often stop by to see what we do. It’s a very traditional place. The staff here mostly consists of people who have a way with animals and don't mind the smell of the barn. We don't use any fancy technology to do our work. It’s just hands-on care every day of the week, including holidays. The gate is almost always open. We have a few trees that provide some shade in the afternoons. It’s a quiet life inside the walls, even if the bus stand across the road is chaotic. We’ve been a part of the Panchavati community for a long time and we just keep doing our daily chores.
