Explanation:

Industries and Commerce Minister of Rajasthan Shakuntala Rawat inaugurated the famous Gogamedi fair of North India, by hoisting the flag after offering prayers.

Gogamedi fair is a symbol of communal harmony.

It is pertinent to note here that every year a huge fair is held in Gogamedi (Hanumangarh) from Shravan Shukla Purnima to Bhadrapada Shukla Purnima in the memory of one of the five pirs of Rajasthan, the popular deity Gogaji.

Veer Gogaji was the son of Raja Jewar Singh, a descendant of the Nagvanshi Chauhans.

According to legend, Gogaji was born with the blessings of Guru Gorakhnath, who gave 'Gugal' fruit to Goga's mother Bachhal which was used to name him. Another belief is that he was called Goga because of his remarkable service to cows.

Although a Hindu, he has many Muslim devotees and is chiefly considered to be a saint (pir) who had the power to cure the effects of poison. He is worshiped as the god of snakes in Rajasthan.
