==History==
The region came under [[Magadha (Mahajanapada)|Magadh Kingdom]] in ancient India. After the fall of the [[Nanda Empire|Nandas]] and the [[Maurya Empire|Mauryas]], the region came under the power of the [[Shunga Empire|Shunga dynasty]]. Terracotta sculptures of Shunga style were found in nearby Sidhauli Tehsil. Similarly, some small idols of [[Gupta Empire|Gupta period]] were found in Badesar in Mishrik Tehsil. Naimisharanya, also known as Neemsar, holds immense religious importance in Hindu mythology and is mentioned in several ancient scriptures, including the [[Mahabharata]] and the Puranas, situated on the left bank of the [[Gomti River|Gomti]], it is a pilgrimage site where Maharishi [[Vyasa|Ved Vyas]] composed the [[Puranas]]. During the post-Vedic period, it is believed that a vast university existed in the region where 88,000 Shastri rishis gathered knowledge to perform a thousand-year sacrificial ritual (yagna) to purify the world. [[Naimiṣāraṇya (forest)|Naimisharanya]] is renowned for its temples, sacred ponds, and the Chakra Tirtha, a revered water body where devotees take holy dips. The proximity of [[Misrikh]] to such a prominent spiritual center enhances its cultural and historical significance, attracting numerous pilgrims and tourists to the area.
