Bahsuma or Behsuma is a town and a nagar panchayat in Meerut district in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India. It is an ancient town of Mahabharata. It is basically known for being the birthplace of Bhism Pitamah.
In the days of Mahabharta (A great epic of India), its name was Bhishma Puri. It was the place of Great Bhishma Pitamah (the Son of Ganga). According to the tradition, Bahsuma was a muhalla of Hastinapur (which is about 5 km south-east of the village) and served as the treasury of the Kauravas and Pandavas, the place deriving its name from 'vasu' which means treasure. In the times of GurjarRaja Nain Singh of Parikshitgarh, it became the headquarters of the government. The house of the Raja Nain Singh and a fort built by him still stand in the village.[2]
