A PILGRIM CENTRE
Filled
with the religious aura and peace of the soul and mind after the visit to
Baijnath, the visitor, inevitably becomes a pilgrim and his steps lead him
to the confluence of the sacred Gomti and Saryu, at Bageshwar.
Mentioned on the copper plate here, like in
Varanasi, the spirit of Siva
prevails. This is his town. An entrancing spot in the valley, it is
pilgrim centre, with the 15 shrines and ancient temple of Baijnath, built
in 1450 A.D., that gives the town its name.
In the month of January, thousands of pilgrims converge here to the
Uttargayani Fair to have a dip in the holy waters of the confluence.
Fasting and chanting, they worship Siva in the temple built for Him many
centuries ago. During the Katyuri rule, it was one of the administrative
centres, near their capital.
