History of this Temple

History of Sitapur Neemsar Mandir says that Lord Vishnu was pleased with Maharishi Shaunak’s worship and gave him a chakra and also told him to move while spinning this chakra and the place where the circumference of this chakra falls down, then understand that that place has become holy. When Maharishi Shaunak came out from there driving the wheel and 88000 Sahasra Rishis also went along with him.

When they all started following that circle. While walking, suddenly the Nemi of the Chakra fell in a forest on the banks of the river Gomti and there the Chakra entered the land. Due to which the Nemi of the Chakra fell, that area came to be known as Naimish. For this reason, this place has also come to be known as Neemsar.
