Suraj Khund temple in Meerut was built by a rich businessman Lawar Jahawar Lal in 1714. This was filled up by water of Abu Nala earlier. Later it was filled by Ganga Canal. There are several temples around the Suraj Kund. One of them is well-known Baba Manohar Nath temple. It was said that it was built during the period of Shahjahan. Suraj Khund Temple in Meerut boasts of impressive architecture although the earlier grandeur has been destroyed in the ravages of time. Even today during auspicious occasions the temple is visited by hundreds of devotees.

Established in 1819 in Meerut Cantonment, this church was completed in 1822.

The mosque was built by Hasan Mehdi, a minister of Mahmood Ghaznavi, in 1019 A.D.

Digambar Jain Temple in Meerut dates back to thousands of years and its reconstruction was done very recently. The 7 altars with 7 splendid spires are there inside the courtyard of the temple. The altar of 'Tikhal Wale Baba' is the first altar, which was believed to be built by Gods of heaven. Gorgeous green colored emerald statue of principal deity Bhagwan Parshvanath is also established in this altar. Devotees believe that all desires are fulfilled and many difficulties are averted when we offer prayers devotionally to 'Tikhal Wale Baba'.

Situated near Shah Pir Gate, the Moghul mausoleum, the red stone construction was built in 1620 A.D., by Noor Jehan.

Augharnath Temple located near Westend Road is one of the oldest temples dedicated to Lord Shiva in the city. In the past, freedom fighters used to pray here before embarking towards the battlefield and hence it is called ‘Kali Paltan.’

The Vishram Ghat is dotted with attractive temples and some of Mathura's most significant shrines are found here - the Mukut Temple, Radha-Damodar, Murli Manohar, Neelkantheshwar, Yamuna-Krishna, Langali Hanuman and Narasimha temples. The baithak of the famous Vaishnava Saint, Shri Chaitanya, is also near by.

The aarti held at the Vishram Ghat each evening is not to be missed, for the little oil lamps that are floated on the river set the placid water as sparkle with myriad iridescent lights. Devotees across the world lit the lamps and make it float on the water. It is a striking sight to catch the glimpse thousands of devotees praying with devotion.
