Goga Navmi Celebrations
गोगो‌ राणो‌ आयो कांकड़ में
चिमक्या बाल‌ गिंवाल कै
प्यारा म्हारा गोगाजी।।

Today is being celebrated the birthday of jahar veer Gogaji, Folk deiti & the god of snakes .
Churu district is having the proud of being the birth place (Dadreva) of  folk deity Gogaji.
When there was no medicines for snake bites,
the only hope for  life was taking  the victim of snake bite to the  shrines of Gogaji Maharaj & chanting Gogaji Maharaj's chhawali, keeping the person covered with fresh Neem leaves & giving no water to drink.This I have seen personally in my life.
It took nearly two to three days for discharge from these shrines. The person's recovery rate was 100% in my village. Gogaji shrines are called Goga medi in local language.
   Gogaji is worshiped equally by Hindus & muslims. They offer kheer, churma, gulgula aur coconut kernel to Gogaji today.
Jai Goga Peer Ki
Jai Jahar veer ki.
