About this Destination
Trimbakeshwar Shiva Temple is one of the most revered pilgrimage destinations in India and one of the 12 sacred Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva. Located at the base of the majestic Brahmagiri Mountain, it is also the origin point of the sacred Godavari River.
The temple is renowned for its magnificent black stone architecture built by Peshwa Balaji Baji Rao (Nanasaheb) in the 18th century. Inside the sanctum lies the unique three-faced Jyotirlinga. The Kushavarta Tirtha (sacred pond) nearby is considered the holy bathing spot for millions of pilgrims during Kumbh Mela.
