Another excellent holy centre is what is well-known Sridhara on Bh. P. I. 1.4 quotes from Vr. P. and states that here Lord Visnu killed the army of Asuras within the twinkling of the eye (nimifa) and hence, it came to be called “Naimisa”. Geographically it is the area round modem Nimsar at a distance of 20 miles from Sitapur and 45 miles to the North west of Lucknow. Nimsar is a railway station. But KP emphasbes its importance as a sacred place proper for Penance, performance of yajna and other religious rites.
