History & significance
A Hindu temple at the centre of the Gor Khatri compound in Peshawar, dedicated to Guru Gorakhnath, founder of the Kanphata Jogi order, and dated to 1851. Closed for decades, it was reopened in 2011 on the order of the Peshawar High Court and declared a heritage site; it is one of very few Hindu temples still standing in the city.
