DAY – 1: Drive to NASHIK by Car (Indica) ( 4 Hrs Drive
) – check in to the Hotel. After fresh up Drive to Nasik a
sacred city on the banks of the River Godavari, is now a
throbbing industrial town. Its beautiful architecture, temples
and caves are a mute testimony to its rich, eventful history.
An ancient city, yet, one that has ridden astride the wheels
of history and bears its footprints. The Egyptian historian
Ptolemy (A.D. 150) had found this place a flourishing center
for trade and commerce. The place abounds in temples, some of
them more than two hundred years old. The Sundranarayan Temple
with its richly carved and domed porticoes, its highly
ornamented central dome and spire Š all made of beautifully
dressed stone is a treat for the eyes. The Kampaleshwar temple
of lord Shiva wearing a skull. Temple of Balaji built on the
confluence of the Godavari and the Saraswati that flows
underground has copper images of Balaji, Ramadevi and Laxmi
decked with valuable jewellery and Balaji wears a gold mask.
The other temples of note are the Kalaram Mandir, the Goraram
Mandir and the Rameshwar or Bell temple. In some temples, the
lingas date back to the age of Rama. It is no wonder then that
Nasik is called the Benares of southern India and the Godavari,
the Ganges of the South.
Drive to Trimbakeshwar. It is famous for the Trimbakeshwar
Temple and source of the Godavari River. Trimbakeshwar
enshrines one of the 12 jyotirlingas dedicated to Shiva and
this one is considered to be the main jyotirlinga. Legend has
it that Guatam Rishi performed a rigorous ritual of prayer and
penance or tapasya to Shiva on Brahmagiri Hill which rises
above the present-day temple. Pleased with this devotion,
Shiva is said to have blessed him and brought down to earth
from heaven the sacred rivers of Ganga, Gautami and Godavari.
At the Kushavarta Teerth, devotees usually dip themselves into
the waters and purify themselves of all sins before entering
the temple. To this day, Hindus offer shraad prayers (prayers
for the souls of the departed) here. It is also believed that
bathing in the waters of the Godavari will bring moksha or
salvation. Mondays are considered particularly holy and the
priests carry the idol of Trimbakeshwar in a palanquin on
their shoulders around the temple. The annual festival of
Shivratri is also celebrated with great pomp and gaiety and
attracts thousands of pilgrims from all over. For overnight
return to Nasik.
