Trimbakeshwar Shiva temple is in the town of Trimbaka in Nashik district, it is an ancient temple and is situated at the foot of Bharmagiri hills. We had visited the temple during monsoons and the rain drenched green hills with clouds looming over provided a scenic view. But could not spend much time inside the temple as it started pouring heavily.
This is one of the 12 Jyothirlingas of Lord Shiva. Inside the sanctum there are three lingams of Brahma,Vishnu,Maheshwara .
The Lingam is visible during the morning worship and gets adorned later for other worship and rituals.
There are also deities of Kedarnatha, Rameshwara, Gangadevi and many other images inside the temple. The sacred pond inside the temple is the origin of the river Godavari. The present temple was built by Peshwa Balaji Baji Rao.
The spire of the temple is very impressive with beautiful stone carvings.
There are free and paid darshan facilities in the temple.
This place is famous for Kalasarpa Shanti, Narayana Nagabali and Tripindi vidhi.
The temple is 30 Kms from Nashik and we did travel by road as we were visiting many other temples in Maharashtra. Check the link for more details
