'''Shukteerth''', also known as Shukratal, is a historically and religiously significant pilgrimage town located in [[Muzaffarnagar district]], [[Uttar Pradesh]], India.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Shukarteerath – Shukartaal {{!}} Official Website of Muzaffarnagar {{!}} India |url=https://muzaffarnagar.nic.in/tourist-place/shukarteerath-shukartaal/ |access-date=2024-05-03 |language=en-US}}</ref> Situated roughly 28 kilometers from Muzaffarnagar city, Shukteerth is primarily known for its association with the Hindu epic.<br />
<br />
According to tradition, Shukteerth is the place where Sage [[Shukdev]] narrated the sacred Bhagavad Purana ([[Srimad-Bhagavatam]]) to Maharaja [[Parikshit]], the grandson of [[Arjuna]] and son of [[Abhimanyu]], approximately 5,000 years ago.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-07-22 |title=शुकतीर्थ में सीएम योगी आदित्यनाथ ने किया 254 करोड़ की योजनाओं का उद्घाटन - DAINIK JANWANI |url=https://dainikjanwani.com/cm-yogi-adityanath-inaugurated-schemes-worth-254-crores-in-shukteerth/ |access-date=2024-05-03 |language=en-US}}</ref> A large banyan tree, revered as the [[Akshayavat]] (undying tree), is believed to be the site where this recitation occurred. Devotees believe the tree possesses the unique characteristic of never shedding its leaves.<br />
