Pura Mahadev is situated on a hillock on the banks of the Hindon River, about 4.5 km from the town of Baleni, near Meerut city in Uttar Pradesh. This famous temple is quite old, as suggested by its name — Pura Mahadev. It is believed that Sage Parashurama founded a Shiva temple here and named the place Shivapuri. Over time, this evolved into Shivpura and was eventually shortened to Pura. Interestingly, remains of the Indus Valley Civilization during the Harappan-Bara period (c. 3300–1300 BC) have been found at Alamgirpur, an archaeological site located just 4 km from the temple. A very famous folk tale is associated with this temple. When Shravan Kumar reached the vicinity of Meerut, negative thoughts suddenly crossed his mind regarding his parents — why was he wasting his life ferrying his aged parents around? Should he abandon them, since they were old anyway? He left them and fled. However, on the way, he stopped at Pura Mahadev. There, he felt ashamed of his thoughts, repented for his actions, and returned to his parents with renewed devotion. History Once in ancient times, King Sahastrabahu reached the ashram while hunting. In the absence of the sage, Renuka welcomed the king with full respect due to the grace of the divine cow Kamdhenu. The king, impressed by the miraculous cow, tried to take it away by force but failed. Enraged, he abducted Renuka and took her to his palace in Hastinapur, where he locked her in a room. The queen of the palace, with the help of her younger sister, later freed Renuka. Renuka returned to the ashram and narrated the entire incident to her husband, the sage. However, the sage, bound by his rigid principles, ordered Renuka to leave the ashram because she had stayed in another man’s palace, even if unwillingly. Renuka pleaded with her husband, affirming her purity and devotion. She requested him to take her life himself if he still doubted her, so that she could attain salvation at his hands. But the sage remained firm in his decision. He then asked his three sons to behead their mother, but all of them refused. His fourth son, Parashurama, considering his father's command to be his highest duty, beheaded his mother. Later, Parashurama was filled with remorse and began intense penance at a nearby location, where he established a Shivaling and began worshipping it. Pleased by his devotion, Lord Shiva appeared before him and granted him a boon. Parashurama prayed for his mother’s revival. Lord Shiva not only revived Renuka but also gifted Parashurama a Parashu (axe) and blessed him, saying that he would always be victorious in battle whenever he wielded it. Parashurama began living in a hut in the nearby forest. After some time, he killed King Sahastrabahu and his entire army using the divine axe. Furious at the atrocities committed by the Kshatriyas of that era, Parashurama eliminated the Kshatriyas from the earth twenty-one times, bringing justice and balance. He also built a temple at the very spot where he had established the Shivaling, which is now known as Pura Mahadev.

Pura Mahadev Temple is a sacred and ancient temple that is dedicated to Lord Shiva, the supreme god of Hinduism. The temple is located in Pura village, near Balauni town, in Baghpat district of Uttar Pradesh. The temple is situated on a hillock on the banks of the Hindon river, which is also known as Panchtirthi and Haranandi. The temple has a rich and fascinating history that dates back to the time of Parashurama, the sixth avatar of Lord Vishnu. According to legend, Parashurama founded the temple after killing the evil king Sahasrabahu and his army with his divine axe. Parashurama also performed penance here and received the blessings of Lord Shiva, who gave him a Shivalinga and a Parashu. The temple is also associated with Renuka, the mother of Parashurama, who was revived by Lord Shiva after being beheaded by her son. The temple attracts lakhs of devotees every year, especially during the months of Shravan and Phalgun, when they carry water from the holy Ganga river in Haridwar and offer it to Lord Shiva. The temple also organizes fairs and cultural events on these occasions, where one can witness the folk music, dance, art, and traditions of Uttar Pradesh. Pura Mahadev Temple is a place where one can experience the divine grace and power of Lord Shiva.

भगवान परशुराम ने स्थापित किया शिवलिंग बागपत के पुरामहादेव गांव स्थित परशुरामेश्वर महादेव मंदिर लाखों श्रद्धालुओं की आस्था का केंद्र है। महादेव का यह प्राचीन मंदिर है। श्रावण और फाल्गुन मास में गंगा के पवित्र जल से शिवलिंग का श्रद्धालु अभिषेक करते हैं। जहाँ पर परशुरामेश्वर पुरामहादेव मंदिर है। काफी पहले यहाँ पर कजरी वन हुआ करता था। 📢श्रावण त्रयोदशी महा में आप को यहां दर्शन करने में 1 घंटे समय लगेगा। History:- इसी वन में जमदग्नि ऋषि अपनी पत्नी रेणुका सहित अपने आश्रम में रहते थे। रेणुका प्रतिदिन कच्चा घड़ा बनाकर हिंडन नदी नदी से जल भर कर लाती थी। वह जल शिव को अर्पण किया करती थी। हिंडन नदी, जिसे पुराणों में पंचतीर्थी कहा गया है और हरनन्दी नदी के नाम से भी विख्यात है। कथा प्रचलित है कि पुरा महादेव गांव कजरी वन में बसा हुआ है। आश्रम में ऋषि की पत्नी रेणुका प्रतिदिन कच्चा घड़ा बनाकर हिंडन नदी से जल भरकर भगवान शिव को अर्पण किया करती थी। यहां एक बार राजा सहस्त्रबाहु शिकार खेलते हुए पहुंचे। जमदग्नि ऋषि की अनुपस्थिति में रेणुका से उनका साक्षात्कार हुआ। रेणुका ने सहस्त्रबाहु राजा की सेवा की। राजा सेवा भाव देखकर आश्चर्यचकित हो गया कि एक जंगल में इतनी व्यवस्थाएं कैसे हो सकती हैं। पौराणिक कथा के अनुसार, राजा ने जिज्ञासापूर्वक जब रेणुका से इसका कारण पूछा तो उन्होंने कामधेनु गाय का जिक्र करते हुए उनकी कृपा के बारे में बताया। राजा उस अद्भुत गाय को बलपूर्वक वहां से ले जाने लगा तो रेणुका ने इसका विरोध किया। राजा गुस्से में रेणुका को ही बलपूर्वक उठाकर ले गया। इसके बाद राजा ने हस्तिनापुर अपने महल में ले जाकर रेणुका को कमरे में बंद कर दिया। रानी ने अवसर पाते ही अपनी छोटी बहन द्वारा रेणुका को मुक्त्त कर दिया। रेणुका ने वापिस आकर सारा वृतान्त ऋषि को कह सुनाया। परन्तु ऋषि ने एक रात्रि दूसरे पुरूष के महल में रहने के कारण रेणुका को ही आश्रम छोड़ने का आदेश दे दिया। रेणुका ने अपने पति से बार-बार प्रार्थना की कि वह पूर्णता पवित्र है तथा वह आश्रम छोड़कर नहीं जायेगी। अगर उन्हें विश्वास नहीं तो वे अपने हाथों से उसे मार दें। जिससे पति के हाथों मरकर वह मोक्ष को प्राप्त हो जाये। परन्तु ऋषि अपने आदेश पर अडिग रहे। तत्पश्चात् ऋषि ने अपने तीन पुत्रों को उनकी माता का सिर धड़ से अलग करने को कहा, लेकिन उनके पुत्रों ने मना कर दिया। चौथे पुत्र परशुराम ने पितृ आज्ञा को अपना धर्म मानते हुए अपनी माता का सिर धड़ से अलग कर दिया। बाद में परशुराम जी को इसका घोर पश्चात् हुआ उन्होंने थोड़ी दूर पर ही घोर तपस्या करनी आरम्भ कर दी तथा वहाँ पर शिवलिंग स्थापित कर उसकी पूजा करने लगे। उनकी तपस्या से प्रसन्न होकर आशुतोश भगवान शिव ने उन्हें प्रत्यक्ष दर्शन दिये तथा वरदान माँगने को कहा। भगवान परशुराम ने अपनी माता को पुनर्जीवित करने की प्रार्थना की। भगवान शिव ने उनकी माता को जीवित कर दिया तथा एक परशु (फरसा) भी दिया तथा कहा जब भी युद्ध के समय इसका प्रयोग करोगे तो विजय होगे। परशुराम जी वही पास के वन में एक कुटिया बनाकर रहने लगे। थोड़े दिन बाद ही परशुराम जी ने अपने फरसे से सम्पूर्ण सेना सहित राजा सहस्त्रबाहु को मार दिया। वे तत्कालीन क्षत्रियों के दुष्कर्मों के कारण बहुत ही क्षुब्ध थे, अतः उन्होंने पृथ्वी पर क्षत्रियों को मृत्यु दण्ड दिया व इक्कीस बार पूरी पृथ्वी को क्षत्रिय विहीन कर दिया। जिस स्थान पर शिवलिंग की स्थापना की थी वहां एक मंदिर भी बनवा दिया। कालान्तर मंदिर खंडहरों में बदल गया। काफी समय बाद एक दिन लिण्डौरा की रानी इधर घूमने निकली तो उसका हाथी वहाँ आकर रूक गया। महावत की बड़ी कोशिश के बाद भी हाथी वहां से नहीं हिला तब रानी ने सैनिकों को वह स्थान खोदने का आदेश दिया। खुदाई में वहाँ एक शिवलिंग प्रकट हुआ जिस पर रानी ने एक मंदिर बनवा दिया यही शिवलिंग तथा इस पर बना मंदिर आज परशुरामेश्वर मंदिर के नाम से विख्यात है। इसी पवित्र स्थल पर जगद्गुरू शंकराचार्य स्वामी कृष्ण बोध आश्रम जी महाराज ने भी तपस्या की, तथा उन्हीं की अनुकम्पा से पुरामहादेव महादेव समिति भी गठित की गई जो इस मंदिर का संचालन करती है।
