TRIMBAKESHWAR-
Trimbakeshwar is one of the twelve Jyotirling temples devoted to Lord Shiva.This Jyotirling temple has special significance due to the fact that it located at the foothills of Brahmgiri , the source of sacred Godavari river.
Trimbakeshwar
temple in the Nagra style of architecture,is located about 27 kms from
Nasik.The entire structure of this black stone temple , in the shadow of
imposing foot hills of Brahmgiri , is breath taking. An other extra ordinary feature in this this Jyotirling temple, is that three
Swayambhu Lingas representing Brahma,Vishnu and Mahesh are seen in, on the floor of the sanctum and the sacred water
of river Godavari pours at the top of the above three Lingas.
Devotees should also visit nearby Kushavart Tirtha which is also a very sacred place and located at a walking distance from the main temple. This is the place from where Godavari takes her course towards the Bay of Bengal. It is believed that a dip in this sacred pond wipes off all the sins. During the Singhastha Khumbh, a dip in Kushavart Tirtha is supposed to be very auspicious.
After visiting this holy temple, devotees are also advised to visit the Hanuman temple at Anjaneri Hills,which is located about 7 kms from Trimbakeshwar along the Trimbakeshwar-Nasik road . It is believed to be the birth place of Hanumanji.
