Gorakhnath Temple is an ancient temple situated on the
Gorakhpur-Sonauli state highway, about 4 km from
Gorakhpur Junction Railway Station, in
Uttar Pradesh.
The temple is spread over an area of 52 acres. Legend says that
Lord Shiva took the avatar of Guru Gorakhnath to bless the region.
The
Makar Sankranti Mela held in the temple is a major draw. This festival starts on 14th January and lasts for a month.
