About Gopal

Affectionately known as Nandi Gopal, he is the pride and Honour of Ahinsadham. His remarkable presence has earned him a distinguished place in the Guinness World Records and the Limca Book of Records.

With impressive horns measuring 1.4 m (4ft 7 in) long and had a circumference of 0.79 m (2 ft 7 in), each weighing 35 kg, and a body weight of 765 kg, Gopal exemplifies nature's grandeur.

Nandi Gopal is revered as a representative of Lord Shiva, embodying the divine connection between strength and spirituality.

A Symbol of Strength and Reverence

Celebrating Nandi Gopal

His unique physique, particularly the curvature of his back resembling a lingam, adds to his significance.

When he bows, the alignment of his horns and form creates a striking resemblance to a trident, symbolizing protection and power.

Join us in honouring the legacy of Nandi Gopal, a testament to our commitment to animal welfare and reverence for nature.

A Remarkable Display

Gopal's Legendary Horns

The longest bull horns each measured 1.4 m (4ft 7 in) long and had a circumference of 0.79 m (2 ft 7 in) on 21 August 2002. They belonged to the bull, Gopal, who is owned by the animal protection centre, Bhagwan Mahavir Pashu Raksha Kendra Anchorwala Ahinsa Dham, on Pragpar road, Gujarat, India.
The horns were removed surgically on 21 August 2002 as they were affecting the health of the bull.

A Reverent Homage to Legacy
