Hindu
Temples
Bareilly is also home to a host of famous Hindu temples. Four Nath
(Shiva) temples are situated on the cities four corners, the Alakhnath,
Trivatinath, Madhinath, and Dhopeshwarnath temples. Another
historical temple of Lord Shiva is in Lala Champak Rai Ki Bagia
near Alakhnath temple in front of Ganga mandir. It is roughly
200 years old. Due to limited access, having no paved roads leading
up to it, is infrequented by devotess when compared to more popular
counterparts. A true hidden jewel. It is also referred to as the
Jagganth Temple.
Near Alakhnath temple is the Tulsi math. Tulsidas, the acclaimed
writer of Ramacharitamanas, and said to have have been the re-incarnation
of Valmiki, the author of Ramayana, made this site his home sometime
around 1600 CE.
Another culturally significant temple is the Chunne Miyan's Lakshmi
Narayan Mandir (located in Katra Manrya street near Bara Bazar).
Its origin dates back to the time when Hindus migrating out from
the recently formed Pakistan at the time of independence in 1947,
came to settle in Bareilly. These Hindu migrants built a small
place of worship amongst some existing ruins but later discovered
that the place belonged to Fazal-ul-Rahman, who was also known
as 'Chunne Miyan' (his nickname). Chunne Miyan to gave not only
land and also financial aid for the construction of the temple.
Since then the temple is popularly known as Chunne Miyan's Mandir
and is situated in the Katra maanrai region of Koharapeer.
There is another reputed temple of lord DoopeshwarNath which
is considered the place where Draupadi and Drishtadyumn were born
by a grace of lord shiva in Mahabharata era.
