Temples in Trimbakeshwar and Important Places

Temples in and around Trimbakeshwar can be visited in a day by vehicle. There is no public transportation that connects these temples and tour places.

Brahmagiri

A person who sees only Brahmagiri is not afraid of hell. In this way, the saint Namdeo explained the significance of Brahmagiri. According to the Purana (myth), man is saved from all of his sins upon witnessing Brahmagiri. The Bramhgiri fort is ten miles in diameter and sits around 4248 feet above sea level. There are only two interior entrances, and a 300–400-foot crag (kada) surrounds the fort. There’s a Bhagavan Shankar temple on the back, facing north. This is where the Godavari River starts. There’s a kund (tank) designed like a vavadi (kite). It was stated that after Bhagavan Shiva threw his jata (matted hair) in this direction, Godavari emerged. Traces of this incident can be observed, such as Bhagavan Shiva’s knee impressions and tress-like features in the rock.

Gangadwar

At the foot of Fort Bramhgiri is Gangadwar. It’s 750 stairs uphill to get there. Because Brahmagiri Mountain provides the first view of the Ganga from this location, the area is known as Gangadwar. There is a statue of Ganga. Varahtirth, a cave-shaped tank, is nearby. The goddess Kolambika’s temple is located on Varahtirth’s northern flank. Shiva Lings and the Gorakshanath and Machchhindranath caves are located on the northern edge of the hill. Here, Gahininath gave divine knowledge to Saint Nivruttinath, the elder brother of Saint Dnyaneshwar. There are two tanks along the route: Ramkund and Lakshman Kund.

Tirtharaj Kushavarta

Throughout the year, pilgrims from all over India travel to Trimbakeshwar to see Trimbakraja and bathe in the sacred waters of Kushavarta Temple. It is claimed that the desire to travel to Trimbak emerges in the minds of people when the accumulation of all good deeds (punya) occurs. Kushawarta Tirth, the original location, holds great significance for the educated. It is here that the sage Gautam held the Ganga flow with Abhimantrit darbh, or charmed weeds, and bathed in apology for his guilt of murdering a cow. This is where the Ganga River gets its name, Godavari.

Nilambika Devi Mandir

Situated atop the Neel mountain is this temple. This is where the god Dattatreya (Shripad Shrivallabh) resided for a while. Additionally, the ancient Neelkantheshwar Mahadev Mandir is located directly behind the Dattatreya Temple. At Neel Parvat’s feet are the Annapurna Ashram, Renuka Devi, and the Khandoba Temple.

Numerous devotees have made pilgrimages to the shrine up to this point. For those who honor Saint Nivruttinath Maharaj’s sacrifice, the location is extremely valuable. At the temple’s annual festival, visitors from all around the country are welcomed. The Warkari community and locals place great religious significance on the Nivruttinath Maharaj Temple, a samadhi shrine dedicated to Saint Nivruttinath Maharaj, which is situated at Trimbakeshwar, Nashik. The live Samadhi that the saint took is the temple’s specialty. Although it was a common practice, it was seen as extremely spiritual at the time.
