Naimisha is a city
and holy location (tirtha) in Uttar Pradesh, some fifty miles northwest of
Lucknow.
Naimisha is mentioned as a forest in later sectarian
literature known as the puranas.
The city's main attraction nowadays is Chakra Tirtha, a
spring-fed bathing (snana) pool.
This bathing pool, according to legend, includes water from
all of India's sacred locations, making it the finest spot for devout Hindus to
take a holy bath.
