Gola Gokaran Nath Temple, Hindu temple in Gola Gokarannath, Uttar Pradesh, India.

The temple complex contains multiple shrines, a sacred pond called Teerth Sarovar, and additional temples including Budhe Baba and Sankat Mochan Hanuman.

The temple's origin connects to a legend where Ravana attempted to carry Shiva's lingam, leaving his thumbprint on the sacred stone still visible today.

During the month-long Sawan Mela festival, devotees perform ritual baths in the sacred pond before offering Ganges water to the Jyotirlingam.

The temple receives between 100,000 and 150,000 pilgrims during the month of Shravan, making advance planning essential for accommodations and temple visits.

The Shivling in the temple resembles a cow's ear, which led to the name Gokarna, and carries a permanent mark attributed to Ravana's thumb.
