First it was the Alaudin Khilji who destroyed the Gorakhnath temple in 14th century and later it was destroyed by yet another devout Islamic ruler of India Aurangzeb in 18th century. Not with standing the fact that the structure was destroyed twice, the place still holds its sanctity, its significance and its pious aura.
