Bateshwar Tample
Bateshwar (Hindi: बटेश्वर) is a village in Agra District, on the banks of the river Yamuna in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh, India. Bateshwar is in between Agra and Etawah and is 5 km from Bah. It is an important spiritual and cultural centre for Hindus and Jains. It is known for the 101 Shiv Temple Complex. An annual religious and animal fair is also organised in the village ground area.
The name Bateshwar is derived from the main Bateshwarnath Temple dedicated to Lord Shiva (Bateshwarnath Mahadev). As per the mythology and legends, here under a marvelous Banyan tree (Bat in Sanskrit), lord Shiva took rest for some time under that tree which is still standing at that place, the place hence came to be known as Bateshwar (i.e. Bat ishwar or The banyan lord).

Shauripur
One of the most famous and maginificent cities of ancient India, Shauripur used to cover the entire area from Hastinapur toMahthura city. The religious book ' Vayudev' validates the history of the foundation of Shauripur city. In the city there used to be two brave and powerful brothers - Shauri and Veer. Shauri laid the foundation of Shauripur city.
The son of Shauri was Andhakrishna. Naiminath,the 22nd Tirthankar was born here to the King Shri Samadra Vijay and his Queen Sitadevi. Today, Shauripur is considered to be an important place of pilgrimage for the Jains. Shauripur, 80 kms. Away from Agra, is surrounded by a dense forest teeming with funa and flora. To the East of this place are the seven big temples of theSvetambara Jain Samaj. With the passing of time, the city was destroyed. What stands today are the ruins in the dense forest, quietly reminiscent of its ancient glory.

Potters Village
Sponsored by the South Asia Foundation, the pottery village is a small rural set-up located near Pitampura in West Delhi. The Foundation work for the upliftment of the poor while putting special emphasis on the craft sector. The pottery village, therefore, is home to hundreds of Rajasthani potter families who have settled here permanently.
Festivals
A festival is an event ordinarily celebrated by a community and centering on some characteristic aspect of that community and its religion or traditions. It is often marked as a local or national holiday, mela, or eid. Next to religion and folklore, a significant origin is agricultural. Food is such a vital resource that many festivals are associated with harvest time. Religious commemoration and thanksgiving for good harvests are blended in events that take place in autumn, such as Halloween in the northern hemisphere and Easter in the southern.

Bateshwar Cattle Fair
The state of Uttar Pradesh is popular for its rich spiritual legacy with the series of religious festivals celebrated across the state. The long list of festivals and fairs of the state includes the Bateshwar Fair on top of the list. The well known Bateshwar fair is held at Bateshwar, the spiritual and cultural center of the state. Bateshwar is located at a distance of 70 km. from Agra on the banks of river Yamuna. The place is named after presiding divine being of the place Bateshwar Mahadeo and has 108 temples, dedicated to the divine deities of the Hindu pantheon.

Bird Festivals
A great way to enjoy bird watching is by going to festivals—they're organized to get you to great birding spots at a great time of year, and they're a great way to meet people. Experts and locals help you see more birds, and you'll meet other visitors who share your hobby. While you're there, keep an eye out for Cornell Lab representatives, as we do attend several festivals each year.
