History & tradition
Gorakhnath Math, also called Gorakhnath Mandir, is the temple and monastery of the Nath monastic order in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh. It is named after Gorakshanath, a yogi of about the 11th century who travelled widely across India and composed texts that form part of the Nath canon; the tradition itself traces its founding to his guru Matsyendranath. The shrine was raised at the place where Gorakhnath is said to have performed his sadhana, and the temple is said to hold his samadhi shrine and seat. The city of Gorakhpur takes its name from him. Set in large grounds, the math also hosts cultural and social activities.
