👍👍 This small mud hill overlooking the Ganges is located ahead of Brahmavrat Ghat is said to be the place where Maharshi Dhruv did penance and was blessed to be a star. It has two temples and offers a nice birds eye view of the River Ganges..Do not go near the cliff, it is dangerous.

    The story of young Dhruva sitting all alone in the dense forest meditating on Lord Vishnu has been narrated to us a million times while growing up. How a boy of five years found solace in Lord Vishnu and sought His blessings with a single-minded goal is truly an inspirational story described in the Hindu scriptures.His entire body resonated the sacred mantra imparted to him by Narada Devarshi and he sat engrossed in the contemplation of Lord Vishnu for six months with no water, no food, uncaring if it was cold, raining or hot. Such was his devotion, that Dhruva had become an epitome of renunciation (tyāga) and when the Lord gave him sakshatkara, he was in a state of ecstatic bliss with tears of joy pouring down his eyes.The eternal Sapta Rishis who in ancient Indian and modern astronomy are the asterism of the Big Dipper called Saptarishi mandalam were in awe of his tapas (penance and austerities) and along with Lord Vishnu gave him the most exalted position of Dhruva-Pada (Pole Star) in the wide expansive space. They offered their prostrations and circumambulated Dhruva who is deemed to be immortal and imperishable even at the time of the great deluge.Dhruva is believed to have been born in Bithoor and the spot where he sat for meditation is a small mound named Dhruva Tila. This serene place full of trees, sweet-smelling flowers, birds and monkeys overlooks the holy Ganga River. Archaeological excavations conducted here uncovered rare copper coins, copper spear, axe, knife, figurines, copper circular rings and others that are said to be of the 2500 – 250 BCE period. Historians opine that Dhruva Tila is of great antiquity and most likely of the pre-Vedic period.The temples seen today have been built by the Marathas under the leadership of Nana Saheb Peshwa II in the typical Maratha style of architecture. There is an old Durga Temple next to Dhruva Tila as well as a shrine dedicated to Lord Hanuman. An ashram in honour of Sant Ramdas, the Guru of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj has also been built.

    Wonderful scenic view of river Ganga from height. It's located on route to Bithoor. You can easily hear Peacock's echoing around. Far from city noise. You can also visit temple and spend some time alone or with friends. Even though the road is a bit narrow, parking and driving is never an issue.

    Dhruv feels is of great historical importance. People say that Lord Dhruva had sat here for meditation and also there is a temple here maintained by the descendants of Nana Rao Peshwa. From Dhruv teela , we can see the beautiful view of the Ganga river.

    Very serene place. Dhruva temple seems to be a private property, whereas Hanuman temple is calm place for worship and meditation. There’s a Ram-Janaki temple also in vicinity. River Ganges flows majestically by side.

    1. Having this feeling that you have come to a place where such a great soul became a realised being lingers months after I went to the place with my family. 2. Right on the bank of the Ganga. 3. Go .stay.meditate.sit alone. 4. Take care of safety and security as when we had gone, we could see at the max 10 persons. Barely 4-5 at a time . Plan accordingly.

    Dhruv Teela is a temple situated at a small hill top of Bithoor. View from the place is very good. But temple is not well maintained. They should have to look into the maintenance of the temple.

  • 2/5 Harshit M. 6 years ago on Google
    It can become a really cool cliff-jumping spot other than that nothing so great about this renowned place. It's just a small disappointing cliff with wild bushes all over. However if you're one of those, who get mesmerized by views, be there before sunrise.

  • 4/5 Abhishek G. 4 years ago on Google
    A small hilltop situated at the bank of river Ganga and just one km from bithoor is called Dhruv Teela. Good view to see Ganga river from the top of Dhruv teela. There are three small temples at this place. This site is under the protected monuments of ASI.

    1. Pathetically maintained is the word for this historical/ mythological location. On top of it, The Archaeological Survey of India has given its certification for protection. 2. I mean have a heart. You BABUs on the government & offices are just not moving from your chairs and not doing any work. Shameful.

    Dhruv Teela is the place which located at Bithoor near Kanpur in the Indian state of UP. Child Dhruva, son of emperor Uttanpad, penanced here single-mindedly on one leg in order to please Lord Brahma. The place is pointed out to be Dhruva Teela. Quiet place, not much crowded. Place of mythological importance.
