Shree Gourakhnath Mandir

Shree Gourakhnath Mandir is a Hindu temple on Ujjain Road in the Itawa neighborhood of Dewas, Madhya Pradesh, dedicated to Guru Gorakhnath — the legendary Nath yogi and saint revered across India as a master of Hatha Yoga and an incarnation of Lord Shiva. The temple holds a special place in Dewas's religious calendar as the traditional starting point of the grand Goga Navami procession, a night-time festival where thousands of devotees gather, carry elaborate tableaus and banners, and march through the city's main roads to Meetha Talab. For visitors interested in living folk traditions of western Madhya Pradesh, this modest neighborhood temple offers a genuine window into the Nath Sampradaya's enduring influence on local community worship and festival culture.
