Story behind the name of this temple
Story is from Mahabharata period about five thousand years old Karna one of Pandavas brother who fought against him everyday comes here for the worship of the lord Shiva lingam after the bath of river Ganges and gives charity to every people who comes there everyday. It is believed that Lord Shiva is there in the form of lingam.
The story behind the name of Anandeswar is that in early 18th century some villagers came everyday with their cows and cattles, and everyday one cow named Anandi came there and pour her milk automatically on that place and it's soaked the owner of cow ones noticed that strange behaviour of cow. He then gathered all the villagers and try to excavate that place and they found one Shiva lingam available there in few feets from the top, they tried to pull that lingam and want to move this to some other place but they never succeded they even can't excavate the whole Idol or capable to move the lingam a inch so they all decided to make a temple there and after that cow this temple name carried and called as Baba Anandeswar Temple. Here almost every God's temple is available in the form of little and big temples.

Boating view in River Ganges.

To visit this place you can use train and road transport and this place is steep north to 5 kilometres from Kanpur Railway Station and 6 Kilometers from Kanpur Roadways.

Here you can enjoy the boating on river Ganges and take a sacred bath but personally I didn't advised you to take bath on river Ganges here because this city is the prime for the highest pollution of river Ganges so it's not safe to take bath here, you can enjoy the boating here.

Friends I blogged this post because I am quite inspired from the travel post of @firepower who visits the most beautiful places of India with his bike and share his experience. He inspired me to do this but as my bike is not okay to travel whole India I started with road transport and railways. Friends you can visit his posts about travelling which are marvellous and very interesting.
