According to legend, Goga was born with the blessings of Guru Gorakhnath, who gave 'Gugal' fruit(Commiphora wightii) to Goga's mother Bachhal. Goga or Gugga was derived from the Guggal. Goga ji was born on Bhado Shukla Navami from Bachhal Kanwar, wife of Raja Jevar Singh, The ruler of the Chauhan dynasty of Dadrewa (Churu) of Rajasthan, When Bachal was worshipping Guru Gorakhnath, her twin-sister Kachal decided to take the benefits of her sister’s devotion & blessings from the Gorakhnath. In the middle of the night, she wore her sister's clothes and deceived Gorakhnath into giving her the blessed fruit. When Bachal came to know about it, she rushed to Gorakhnath, narrate him the story. Gorakhnath came to know that Kachal deceives bachal. Then Gorakhnath gave Bachal a Gugal fruit as a blessing to have a son. He foretold that her son would become very powerful and would rule over the other two sons of Kachal. And it proves true. The temple is under the governance of the State Government. The area around the temple is about 800 bighas of land. though the state govt has built a very beautiful and huge temple around the main shrine. Though this place can be developed more in a various manner and it should occupy a permanent place on the religious as well tourist map of India. One last thing- State Govt as well as temple priests and other serving personnel's should avoid beggars around the holy place. Jai Jai Jahar VEER JI....

गोगा की पूजा हिंदू कैलेंडर के भद्रा महीने में शुरू होती है । भद्रा के 9 वें दिन, लोग उसके प्रतीक की पूजा करते हैं, एक दीवार पर चित्रित एक काला सांप। उपासक एक फड़फड़ाहट लेते हैं, जिसे छारी के रूप में जाना जाता है, गाँव के चक्कर लगाता है। भक्त इसका सम्मान करते हैं और चूरमा चढ़ाते हैं । Savayians भक्ति की संगत करने के लिए उनके सम्मान में 'के रूप में पीर ke Solle' के नाम से गीत गाते हैं deroos । डेरोस की पिटाई सवियन समुदाय का विशेष विशेषाधिकार है; अन्य लोग गा सकते हैं, नाच सकते हैं या चरवा चढ़ा सकते हैं। यह माना जाता है कि गुग्गा की भावना अस्थायी रूप से भक्त नर्तक में निवास करती है, जो लोहे की जंजीरों से खुद को काटता है। लोग इस दिन (bhadra krishna paksh navmi) भी अपनी राखी खोलते हैं और उन्हें चढ़ाते हैं। वे मीठी पूड़ी (एक प्रकार की मीठी चपाती) और अन्य मिठाई भी चढ़ाते हैं और उनका...
