==History==<br />
According to historian [[Laxmikant Tripathi]], Sithaupurwa ([[Sronitpur]]) was the capital of Daityaraj [[Mahabali]]'s son Daityaraj [[Wanasur]]. Wanasur founded a huge [[shivling]] in this temple. After a war between Shri [[Krishna]] and Wanasur the temple was demolished. Janmejay renovated by the son of [[Parikshit]] was named Wanpura Janmejay. For some time in Hindi it retained its name of {{lang|hi|Banipara Jinayi}}. Near the temple are a pond, Usha Burj, and statue of [[Vishnu]]. These are signs that authenticate mythology.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.jagran.com/uttar-pradesh/kanpur-dehat-12083122.html|title = पौराणिक शिव मंदिरों में उमड़ती है आस्था|website=jagran.com|language=Hindi|accessdate=6 October 2021|trans-title=Faith rises in mythological Shiva temples}}</ref><br />
