Another
Siva temple of great antiquity lying in the vicinity and worthy of
visitation in Almora region is Bageswar Mahadev Mandir. This famous
Siva temple, on account of its location at the confluence of sacred
rivers Sarayu
and Gomati claims another sacrosanct plus point for its sacredness
and unenviable attraction for ritualistic prayers. Devout Hindus
visit this to worshipping Lord Siva and offering pindas to manes at
the confluence. So it is akin to Banaras in the performance of many
devotional activities throughout the year. Situated at a high
attitude, and attracting the aristocrat elite, the cream of highly
educated society as it is an ideal summer resort, it is visited by
multinationals throughout the year.
It
lies 90 km off Almora enjoying all transport facilities and Jageswar
Mahadev Mandir is 3 km off Almora.
