Trivati Nath Temple

About this place

Shri Trivati Nath Temple is one of six ancient temples dedicated to Lord Shiva. It is located on the outskirts of the city of Bareilly. Lord Shiva is also called Trivati Nath. According to legends, Lord Shiva or Trivati Nath prophesied that he would appear in the dream of a shepherd under the three banyan trees located in the dense forest in the panchal area. True to the prophecy, the shepherd who was lying asleep under the banyan trees saw a shiv ling in his dream. When he woke up he found a shivling lying near the roots of the trees. It is widely believed by the devotees that whosoever worships Shri Tivati Nath with full faith and devotion gets all his desires fulfilled. The temple, therefore, draws huge crowds of devotees every day.
