Gorakhpur’s signature observance: devotees offer khichdi — raw rice, lentils and vegetables — to Guru Gorakhnath at Gorakhnath Temple, a tradition the temple is famed for across Purvanchal and Nepal. Drik Panchang places the Sankranti moment late on 14 January, with the observance day on 15 January 2027. Note: the temple and administration had not announced separate Khichdi Mela fair dates when this listing was checked.
