Bateshwarnath

70 kms away from Agra, Bateshwar is essentially a temple town, situated on the bank of the holy river Yamuna.This is the main Shiva linga of Bateshwarnath. The spectacular evening Arti with ringing of the bells and blowing of conch shells offers a soul-stirring experience.

The Yamuna River

It is said that, Yamuna is the consort of Lord Shri Krishna. Gokula, the divine abode of the Lord is the home of Yamuna. It is said that the river first went round Shri Krishna before descending down to earth as per the order of her Lord. River Yamuna came to be called as "Kalindi"as she touched the peak of Kalind. Then she descended down the hills and reached the plains at Khandav Vana which has been developed as Delhi city now. Yamuna and Yama are believed to be the offspring of Sun God 'Surya'. Hence it is considered that whoever takes a dip in the holy waters of the source stream of Yamuna may not have fear of death.
