About Trimbakeshwar

Trimbakeshwar, also known as Trambakeshwar, is an ancient Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva and is located in the village of Trimbak in the Nashik district of Maharashtra at a distance of approximately 240 kilometers from Pune. The temple of Trimbakeshwar is the main attraction in this village and therefore, the village itself is now known as Trimbakeshwar.

Trimbakeshwar’s claim to fame is that the temple here has one of the 12 Jyotirlingas dedicated to lord Shiva with this one being the main Jyotirlinga. It is also located at the source of the longest river in the peninsular region, Godavari, which is also considered one of the most sacred rivers in the Hindu religion. Also, Trimbakeshwar is believed to be the birth place of Lord Ganesha. The Simhasta Kumbh Mela is held in Trimbakeshwar every 12 years, when millions of devotees travel from all over the country to take a dip in the Godavari River, believing that it will help them wash away their sins.
