Gola Gokarannath or Gola Gokaran Nath is a city , a municipal board,and tehsil in Lakhimpur Kheri district in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. Gola Gokran Nath is famous for its Shiva Temple and BHL sugar Mill. Gola Gokaran Nath is also called 'Chotti Kashi' ('Little Kashi').
During the famous war of Ramayana in Treta Yug Ravana pleased Lord Shiva with his penance so that he could win the war against Lord Rama. Lord Shiva took the shape of a Shiv-ling and directed him to install that Shiva-ling in Lanka. But Lord Shiva put the condition that Shiv-Ling should not be put on the Earth on its way to Lanka. But on the way back, Ravana had to give the Shiva-ling to a shepherd to attend nature's call. Shiva increased the weight of the Shiva-ling so the shephard had to give up and put the ling on the ground. This made Ravana very angry as he understood the trickery of Lord Shiva. Ravana understood that Lord Shiva did not want the Ling to be carried to Lanka and let Ravana win the war. Enraged Ravana pressed the Ling with his thumb resulting in an impression which looked like a cow's ear (गौ-कर्ण). It is on this basis that the place was named Gola Gokaran Nath.
