I am putting this information once again.

Bageshwar: The holy township of Bageshwar lies at the confluence of the rivers Saryu, Gomti and latent Bhagirathi. Bageshwar is associated with Lord Sadashiva, the redeemer of all sins and hence revered as the 'pious land'. With the east and west flanked by the Bhileswar and Nileshwar mountains and surrounded by Suraj Kund in the north and Agni Kund in the south, this land of Lord Shankar is of great religious, historic and political significance. The temple of Bagnath situated here is venerated by one and all. Devotees gather here on every Monday of the holy month of Shravan to worship the Lord, who is also known as the remover of sorrows. The temple is also the center of the the fairs of Uttarayani and Shivratri attended by people from far and near.
