History
Porsa is known for its Nagaji Maharaj Temple. There is also a large pond beside the temple. There are many stories about the Hindu Guru Sri Nagaji Maharaj, who was a follower of "Naga Lineage". At each poornima (full moon) many people visit this holy shrine and prostrate themselves at the feet of Nagaji Maharaj. This fair or mela is the way of remembering and paying respect to Nagaji Maharaj, who lived in Porsa during the period of the Mughal Emperor Akbar (1542–1605). Local residents from nearby villages gathers at the shrine every winter (November–December) and arrange marriages for as long as a month. Earlier monkeys were sold at this fair, but now domestic animals are more popular. Usually on Monday people assemble on Ater Road at the outskirts of Porsa, to buy and sell domestic animals including cows, buffaloes, sheep, goats and sometimes camels. Dr. Kadaka was a noted doctor in the area and gave his name to Dr.Kadaka Wali Gali, Dr Kadaka Vatika and the Kadaka Market.
