Ghosha (Sanskrit: घोषा) was an ancient Vedic period Indian philosopher and seer. From a young age she suffered from a skin ailment which had disfigured her. Ashvini Kumars cured her and restored her youthfulness, health and beauty. As a result, she got married and had a son. She was proficient in the Vedas and had even scripted two hymns in the Rigveda.[1] She was called as mantradrika meaning well versed in mantras.[2] She was also known as a Brahmavadini or speaker or proclaimer of Brahmana and led a purposeful spiritual life.[1]
