Gogaji is considered a saint by Kayam Khani Muslims who beieved to their descendants. He is an eminent warrior-hero in the region. The Hindus called him by the name of Veer Goga, while Muslims call it Jahar pairs. His devotees spread across Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Gujarat, where you take an annual procession in his honor.
Some people also regard Gogaji like a snake-god and almost every village in Rajasthan has a "that" (sacred place) dedicated to him. Devotees come to visit the place and I think Gogaji grants the wishes of his believers, expecially in the case of curing snakebites and other diseases. His "samadhi" is marble and has two minarets and a wall. His idol shows a blue horse with a snake wrapped around his neck.
The inscription in Persian at the main entrance is described with regard to Gogaji Mahmud of Ghazni. Devotees rub incense at the samadhi and offer coconuts, 'batashas' (sugar drops) and cash and sing songs in his praise. The atmosphere in the terminal is calm and the sacred. The sweet fragrance of incense increases the tranquil feeling of purity and devotion.
The major attractions of the fair are the Nath priests who carry whips (repros of 'chabuk' demonstrated in the hands of Gogaji). The devotees think them lucky. It is fairly a sight to observe people singing and dancing to the beats of drums and gongs with multicolored flags called 'nishans' in their hands.
