Bithoor

Bithoor Bithoor The quiet and beautiful township of Bithoor is situated on the G.T. Road(Kanpur-Delhi Route), 25 km from Kanpur.
(58)

Situated on the banks of the Ganga, this tranquil spot is of considerable historical and religious importance. According to Hindu scriptures Lord Brahma came to Utpalaranya, as it was known then, for the creation of mankind. The place which first witnessed the creation of mankind came to be known as “Brahmavarta” or the seat of Brahma. Brahma installed a Shivalinga which is worshipped as “Brahmesh

war Mahadeva” at the principal Ghat of Bithoor, The Brahmavarta Ghat. A nail of the horse shoe which is embedded in the steps of the Ghat is an object of special reverence for devotees, considered to be of Brahma's horse, while going for “Ashwamedha Yajna.” On the completion of the Yajna, the forests of Utpalaranya, became known as Brahmavarta, from which the popular name, Bithoor is derived. In later centuries Brahmavarta flourished as the capital of the kingdom of Utpalaranya, over which ruled the emperor Uttanpad. His son Dhruva penanced here in order to please Brahma. The place is pointed out to be “Dhruva Teela.”

There is a small pool inside Valmiki Ashram, famous as Sita-Kund. Sita 'Rasoi' is still preserved, near which stands 'Swarga Naseinee' or Deep Malika Stambha, studded with niches all around for illumination. The tower has about 48 steps leading to its top which is surmounted by a cupola, from where one can have a panoramic view of the entire area. The existing Valmiki temple is said to have been rebuilt by Baji Rao Peshwa in the 19th century. Bithoor is famously known for Rani Laxmi Bai, Baji Rao Peshwa, Nana Sahib, Tatya Tope who fought against The English. One can even witness their damage fort at Nana Rao Park. The historic town of Bithoor, once famous by the name of 'Bavan Ghaton ki Nagri', (city of 52 Ghats) today left with only 29 Ghats. Season: October-March

HARTALIKA TEEJ, 21st Aug 2020, Friday

हरतालिका तीज व्रत भगवान शिव और माता पार्वती के पुनर्मिलन के उपलक्ष्य में मनाया जाता है. माता पार्वती ने शंकर भगवान को पति के रूप में पाने के लिए कठोर तप किया था. मान्यता है कि माता पार्वती के इस तप को देखकर भगवान शिव ने उन्हें दर्शन दिए और इस दिन पार्वती जी की अपनी पत्नी के रूप में स्वीकार किया.

Hartalika Teej fast is celebrated to commemorate the reunion of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. Mata Parvati did harsh tenacity to get Lord Shankar as her husband. It is believed that upon seeing this tenacity of Goddess Parvati, Lord Shiva appeared to her and accepted Parvati ji as her wife on this day.
