In Hinduism, a pathasala (IAST:Pāṭhaśālā; also written as pathashala) is a traditional religious school where knowledge of the Vedas and Sanskrit is taught. Before British rule, along with gurukulas, pathasalas served as primary educational institutions in India. Pathasalas were non-residential in nature, where as gurukalas were residential. In India, the term pathasala has become synonymous with the term vidyalaya which refers to school.
