Jansath is a town and a nagar panchayat in Muzaffarnagar district in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.

Jansath is a small town in western Uttar Pradesh, the north-western part of India, about 118 km from the National Capital of Delhi.

An old temple, where the Kauravas and Pandvas played dice and lost their kingdom, is on the southern outskirts of Jansath and is known as "Mahadev ka Mandir".

[5] The Sayyid Brothers were killed through a conspiracy by Mughal Emperor Mohammed Shah with the help of Asaf Jha I, who later became the first Nizam of Hyderabad.

In 1722, after the poisoning of Hassan Ali Khan, orders were given to lay waste to the Barah country but the Sayyid tribesmen offered stubborn resistance and "broke the teeth of the Mughals".

The Wazir was determined to provoke the Sayyids into some form of rebellion so as to give him the colour to the action he intended to take.

The other well known figure from Jansath is Moraad Ali Khan, who won a Gold Medal in Double trap shooting at the Commonwealth Games in Manchester in 2002.
