Gorakhnath temple has a recorded history of at least 800 years. The temple existed even before Nawab Asaf-Ud-Daulah was born in 18th century. How could the Nawab grant land for construction of a temple that existed for hundreds of

(2/n) years before his own birth? Fake news! Gorakhnath temple is much older than the Nawab. It was believed to be established by Gorakhnath himself. Whatever the case, the temple was already destroyed by Khilji in 13th century,meaning it already existed

(3/n) by then. From "Gorakhnath and the Kanphata Yogis" by George W Briggs.

(4/n) Far from being built on the land donated by Nawab Asaf-Ud-Daulah, the Gorakhpur Imambada itself was built on a former temple site. Following Cunnigham's Archaeological survey of India, Sita Ram Goel lists the Imambada among former temple sites in his book "Hindu temples".

(6/n) Although the Shia Nawab Asaf Ud Daulah ruled Awadh, he had his heart beating for Iraq. He siphoned off millions of local taxpayer money to develop Iraq. Used taxpayer money to make Iraq deserts bloom for convenience of Shia Pilgrims.

(7/n) This is a large sum amounting to 40% of revenue.

(8/n) There is not a single record or inscription which indicates that Nawab donated land for Gorakhpur temple. The only "source" of this claim is a recently fabricated spurious local myth that Nawab met Gorakhnath. This is false since Gorakhnath lived hundreds of years before

(9/n) Nawab.
