Ghoḍācolī is one of the eighty-four Siddhas associated with eighty-four Yogic postures (Բ), according to popular tradition in Jodhpur, Ჹٳ. These posture-performing Siddhas are drawn from illustrative sources known as the Nava-nātha-caurāsī-siddha from Vȧrāṇasī and the Nava-nātha-caruāsī-siddha-bālāsundarī-yogamāyā from Puṇe. They bear some similarity between the eighty-four Siddhas painted on the walls of the sanctum of the temple in Mahāmandir.

The names of these Siddhas (e.g., Ghoḍācolī) to 19th-century inscription on a painting from Jodhpur, which is labelled as “Maharaja Mansing and eighty-four Yogis�. The association of Siddhas with yogis reveals the tradition of seeing Matsyendra and his disciple Ҵǰṣa as the founders of ṻDz.
