Nageshwar nath temple

The historic & legendary temple of Nageshwar Nath is located on the bank of the holy river Saryu. It is said that the temple of Nageshwarnath was built by Kush, the son of Lord Shree Rama. It is believed that once Kush lost his armlet while bathing in the Saryu. The armlet was picked up by one Nag-Kanya. She had fallen in love with him. Kush erected this temple for her as she was a devotee of Shiva. It is said that until the time of Vikramaditya, this was the only temple to survive. The rest of the city had fallen into ruins and was surrounded by thick forests. Vikramaditya was able to locate Ayodhya and the sites of various shrines here by means of this temple. The festival of Shivratri celebrated with great pomp here.
