Gobar Goho's Gymnasium is one of the oldest akharas in the Maniktala neighbourhood. The gymnasium was reincarnated by the legend himself in 1936 at 19/D/H/7 Gobar Goho Sarani Kolkata - 700006. With the advancement of multi gyms the akharas and lathi clubs have sunk into oblivion. The gymnasium remains active in the morning except Wednesdays because the monkey god Hanuman ji takes rest.

Jatindra Charan Guho 13 March 1892 – 2 January 1972, popularly known by his ring name Gobar Goho, was a world-famous Indian wrestlerand practitioner of Pehlwani. He was the first Asian to win the World Light Heavyweight Championship in the United States in 1921.He developed his own style of wrestling which took Indian wrestling into newer heights. His style included his own wrestling holds like dhonka, tibbi, gadhanet, dhak, tang, pat, dhobiya pat and kulla which later became a part and parcel of Indian wrestling. He was famous for his vicious chops known as radda. His achievements and success inspired Bengali Hindus to take up wrestling as a career which was seen as the traditional bastion of Punjabi Muslims. Not only wrestlers but the famous body builders like Manohar Aich and Monotosh Roy were inspired by his successes. His own disciples included his son Manik and his students Banamali Ghosh, Jyotish Charan Ghosh and Biswanath Dutta. His followers observed his birth centenary in 1992. Goabagan Street in North Kolkata has been named Gobar Goho Sarani in his honour. On the current day his akhada Gobar Goho's Gymnasium runs firmly at 19/D/H/7, Gobar Goho Sarani, Kolkata-700006. The nearest prominent landmark is the Scottish Church College.
