Bagnath Temple, Hindu temple at the confluence of Sarayu and Gomati rivers, Bageshwar, India

The temple features numerous brass bells and displays stone figures depicting deities from different periods of Indian history along its walls.

The current temple structure was built in 1450 by King Laxmi Chand, though religious activities at this site date back to the 7th century.

The temple complex hosts the Uttarayani fair each January during Makar Sankranti, where followers perform bathing rituals at the river confluence.

Visitors can reach the temple via buses from Delhi to Bageshwar, with Kathgodam railway station serving as the nearest rail connection at 151 kilometers.

The Archaeological Department of Uttarakhand maintains several ancient inscriptions and idols from the 8th to 10th centuries within the temple premises.
