Bithoor | Bramhawart ghaat | Valmiki ashram |Nana Rao Peshwa smarak | Sita rasoi

History :-Bithoor has been closely associated with the Indian independence movement, especially the Indian Rebellion of 1857. It was at one time home to many of the rebellion's most prominent participants including the Rani of Jhansi, Lakshmi Bai. During the British Raj, Bithur used to be part of Cawnpore district (now Kanpur) in the United Provinces. The last of the Peshwas, Baji Rao II, was banished to Bithur; his adopted son, Nana Sahib, made the town his headquarters. Bithur was captured by General Havelock on 19 July 1857.[2] The town was laid waste by the British who razed Nana Sahib's palace and the temples in the town in retaliation for the brutal killing of over 300 British men, women and children who had been lured out of their defences at Cawnpore with a promise of truce during the Siege of Cawnpore.[3][4] Britishers killed and hanged around 25,000 Bithoor men and women, including children, from 9 to 90 years of age. They hanged the dead bodies from trees so as to spread terror. Bithoor is the only town in the history where so many people were killed for revolting against the British empire. Adding to that India was the only country where the most people sacrificed their lives for the sake of obtaining freedom from British rule.
