BATESHWAR

LOCATION 
After being regaled by the icon of Love, Taj Mahal, and the royal surroundings of Agra, don't take an about turn to Delhi. Instead traverse across 70 kms and experience one of the most heavently constellations of temples sprinkled on the ghats of river Yamuna... in the temple town of Bateshwar. Temples, temples and temples. That's what greets you, spellbinds you and blesses you in Bateshwar which appears to have derived its name from BATESHWARNATH, a title of Lord Shiva. In the world of towering skyscrapers and congested skyline, the sight of 101 temples is both refreshing and invigorating. Out of these 101 temples, 42 dedicated to Lord Shiva flanking the Yamuna are epitome of centuries of faith and ageless celestial aura which is recognized as the most distinctive if India. Apart from the main Bateshwarnath Temple, other temples like Bhimeshwar, Narmedeshwar, Remeshwar, Moteshwar, Jageshwar, Panchmukheshwar, Pataleshwar, Gauri Shankar, Neminath Jain Temple etc. are also worth seeing here.
