Baba Tameshwarnath Dham is the main religious place of Sant Kabir Nagar district, whose belief is thousands of years old. This place is considered a big center of faith in Purvanchal. Like Shri Ram Temple and Kashi Vishwanath Dham in Ayodhya, there is a crowd of devotees here too, but till now its extensive development could not take place. After the announcement of Chief Minister Yogi, now this Dham is going to enter a new era.

The Yogi government is focusing on the modernization of pilgrimage sites. Along with places like Ayodhya, Kashi, Vindhyachal, Chitrakoot and Naimisharanya, Baba Tameshwarnath is also being included in the list of major religious tourist places of the state.
