Overview
Shiva Sadhana sanctuary is one of the uncommon sanctuaries in the Kanpur. It is arranged upon a slope surmised 120 - 150 feet high precisely at the bank of River Ganga. The sanctuary is roughly 200 years of age.
There is a Linga in the old sanctuary. The single tower structure overwhelms the surroundings for miles. The structure was harmed, however the Archeological Survey of India (ASI) has taken up its repair alongside two different structures-Tikait Rai Baradari and the Rajmahal. These structures are accepted to be over two centuries old.
Contradicting Facts
The sanctuary dependably presents, abandoned locate and the entryways are for the most part shut. This is on the grounds that there are just a modest bunch of guests and considerably lesser number of dedicates. There is an odd purpose behind this wonder.
Local people of Bithoor and the cleric of the sanctuary says that if a man or lady come and reveres the Linga or asks here, he or she needs to keep doing it for a month. Hence, the pooja must be accomplished for a more drawn out term.
Local people warn that of this practice is not took after or stuck to, the individual and his or her family will endure. There have been numerous occurrences when mishap has gone to the group of a man who ignored this legend and never returned to workship the linga here.
Another motivation behind why the sanctuary is not gone by is a result of its area. The way behind the Dhruva Teel is hard to reach. There is thick vegetation and a slope to cross alongside a drain before one can achieve the sanctuary. All said and done, the truth of the matter is that devotees, even Shaivaites, dread to visit and ask at the sanctuary.
