Provinces, situated in 29 55' N. and 79 37' E., on a cart-road from
Kathgodam. Population (1900), 148. Baijnath lies in the centre of
the Katyur valley, and was formerly known as Karttikeyapura, a capital
of the Katyuri Rajas. On a neighbouring hill stands an old temple,
sacred to Kali, at which kids and buffalo calves are sacrificed to the
goddess, especially at the Dasahra. Other old temples are to be seen
in the valley, and some copperplates are preserved ; inscriptions found
here yield a series of dates from a.d. 1202. The valley now contains
several tea plantations. A dispensary is maintained at Baijnath.
