In Gogamedi, a small town in Hanumangarh district of Rajasthan, the fair (Mela) of Gogaji is very famous on the ninth of Bhadon Krishna Paksha and Shukla Paksha. In this fair, apart from the state of Rajasthan, devotees also come from Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat. Goga Navami is celebrated with great enthusiasm as the birth anniversary of Shri Jaharveer Gogaji.
Gogaji Maharaj, the great disciple of Baba Gorakhnath, is considered the god of serpents. Therefore, serpents are worshiped on this day. It is believed that by keeping the soil of the place of worship in the house, one gets freedom from the fear of snakes. According to mythological belief, there is no danger of snakebite by worshiping Goga Ji Maharaj. Hindus worship him as Gogaji and Muslims as Gogapir and Jaharpir.
According to a legend in Rajasthan, Pabuji, Hadbuji, Ramdevji, Mangaliyaji and Mehaji are considered to be the five main peers (Panch Peers). This popular belief is known as Doha as follows:
Pabu, Hadbu, Ramde, Mangliya, Meha ।
Paancho Peer Padharjyo, Gogaji Jeha ॥
