Importance - Vishnu is Aranya Swaroopi (NAIMISARANYAM). Naimisaranyam, in all the great epics of India, by Vyasa Muni and Suka Muni - is considered as a manifestation of Vishnu and held in reverence and worship. The forest is considered to have been the abode of 60000 sages. Naimisaranyam is located at the junction of the roads from Sitapur and Khairabad. Vayu Purana and the Bhrammanda Purana state that that Brahma sent out a manomaya chakram after worshipping Shiva, which stopped moving after reaching Naimisaranya as its rim shattered. Sages following this bright wheel settled at Naimisaranya so did several of the sacred thirthams (rivers).
