Bagnath Temple, located in the heart of Bageshwar district at the confluence of the rivers Saryu and Gomati in Uttarakhand, India, is a revered Hindu shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva.

The temple showcases an ancient north Indian style of architecture with a tall, curvilinear tower. It comprises a sanctum that houses the deity and a mandapa where devotees gather for worship. The temple plays a host to a large fair known as 'Uttarayani' in January, attracting pilgrims and tourists alike. Notable for its religious significance, the Bagnath Temple offers a serene atmosphere and a splendid view of the surrounding mountains and rivers, making it a prominent spiritual destination as well as a point of interest for those admiring historical architecture and nature.
