Bithoor:
"Located around 23 km
from Kanpur, Bithoor (once known as Brahmavart) is a
very important site for both Hindu religion and Indian
history at large. Legend has it that after the
destruction of the universe and reconstruction of the
galaxy by Lord Vishnu, Lord Brahma (the creator of the
universe) selected Bithoor as his abode and performed a
"yagna" (Hindu prayer ceremony) here, naming the town as
Brahmavart. This town was also one of the epicenters of
the Revolt of 1857. During the First War of
Independence, Bithoor became a rallying point for the
rebellion against the British East India Company, until
it was captured by General Havelock in 1857. Today,
Bithoor attracts a large number of pilgrims who visit
the Brahmavart Ghat and Valmiki Ashram, which are the
primary attractions of the town."
