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