Shree Moteshwar Mahadev Temple

Shree Moteshwar Mahadev is also known as Shree Bheem Shankar Mahadev. In ancient days, this place was known as Dakini State.

Kashipur or Govishn is a historic place in Nainital district. Around 1 km away Lord Shiva is situated in his full face as a Jyotirlingam known as Bheem Shankar at a place known as Ujjanak. The primary deity worshiped is Shiva. Other deities are Parvati, Kartikeya, Ganesha, Hanuman, Kali and Bhairo.

Kashipur was known as Govishan or Govisana during the time of Harsha (606–647 AD), when Xuanzang (631–641 AD) visited this region. The ruins of the large settlement of those days are still near the city. Kashipur is named after Kashinath Adhikari, the founder of the township and governor of the pargana, one of the officers of the Chand Kings of Kumaon in the 16th-17th century.

Poet Gumani wrote a poem on this town. Girital and Drona sagar are well-known spots and are associated with the story of the Pandavas. The Chaiti mela is the best known fair of Kashipur. Today Kashipur is an important industrial township. In autumn (after monsoon) one can see the snowclad peaks of Trishul and its surroundings.
