'''Kali Paltan Mandir''' is the commonly used name of the [[Shiva]] temple '''Augarhnath Mandir''', close to the army barracks in the Indian city of [[Meerut]], [[Uttar Pradesh]]. It was founded following the discovery of a [[Lingam|Shivalinga]] under the ground in 1844. The foundation stone for the modern larger temple complex was laid in 1968. The temple houses the [[well|water well]] where Indian [[sepoys]] who fired the first shots in the [[Indian Rebellion of 1857]] met.<ref name=Sehgal2022>{{Cite book |last=Sehgal |first=Vineeta |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=wGqVEAAAQBAJ&pg=PA38 |title=1857 Augarnath Temple Meerut Beginning of India's Freedom Fight |date=2022 |publisher=Blue Rose Publishers |pages=38–40 |language=en}}</ref><ref name=Das2011>{{Cite book |last=Dasgupta |first=Devashish |chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=oXWAEjcG-FsC&pg=PA20 |title=Tourism Marketing |date=2011 |publisher=Pearson Education India |location=Delhi|isbn=978-81-317-3182-6 |chapter=1.
