Manu Satroopa Tapsthali

Manu-Shatrupa temple site of Naimisharanya is considered to be the incarnation of mankind. The mind becomes filled with positivity as soon as one enters the premises of Manu Shatrupa Temple. In this temple, we find the beautiful statues of Lord Manu and Goddess Shatrupa, considered the first humans on earth per Sanatan Dharma.
It is believed that the creation of the human race took place in the holy land of Naimish. The human world originated from the first man and woman in Naimish. Manu-Shatrupa started life by doing penance from this sacred place, and that is why we have a strong relationship with Manu-Shatrupa. Right in front of Vyas Gaddi is the penance place of Manu-Shatrupa. Radha-Bihari temple is also built on the left side of Manu-Shatrupa temple. The human world originated from Swayambhuva Manu and Shatrupa. Goswami Tulsidas writes in Ramcharitra Manas
Queen Shatrupa and King Manu handed over the kingdom to their son. They went on the Naimisharanya pilgrimag meditated on Lord Vasudev
Initially, they kepl remembering Lord Sachchidananda Anand Swarup for a few days by eatinp fruits and vegetables or kanda-mool. After a few days, they gave up fruits and flowers. They undertook absolute penance by drinking only water. After that, they started doinp penance only with the help of air.
Seeing their devotion and hard penance, Lord Vishnu appeared in front of them and asked them to ask for some boon. Lord Vishnu said,”You have done penance for years. I am pleased. What do you desire; I will fulfil all your wishes and desires you ask for”.
Then Manu said – “Lord- I want a son like you.” Lord Vishnu blessed him with his wish. He said, ’Manu, in your future birth, you will be King Dashrath of Ayodhyapuri, and Queen Shatrupa will be Kaushalya. I will incarnate as Rama. You will have not one son but four sons.”
Naimish’s journey is considered complete only after visiting the penance place of Lord Manu-Shatrupa and Vyas Gaddi.
