Bateshwar

Bateshwar is situated at a distance of 70 km. from Agra, in the Indian State of Uttar Pradesh on the banks of river Yamuna. Bateshwar is an important spiritual and cultural centre. Bateshwar is the birth place of former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

It is known for the Shiv Bateshwar Temple situated on the banks of Yamuna and Shaouripur, near Bateshwar, which is the birthplace of the 22nd Tirthankar of Jain faith, Lord Neminath. Each year the region hosts a cattle fair in October and November. The commercial livestock event is also of significance to Hindus, who make pilgrimage to the river Yamuna in honor of Lord Shiva.
