Introduction :
|
|
This town with its 200 temples and picturesque bathing ghats stands on the
banks of the Godavari river. The sites here are associated with stories
from the Epic Ramayana and is referred to as 'Rambhumi'. Once every 12
years, the historic 'Kumbh Mela' is held here. Nasik makes an
interesting stopover on the lengthy journey to or from Mumbai, 187km
southwest. The city is one of the four sites of the world's largest
religious gatherings, the Kumbh Mela, held at different locations in
India. Although this city forms part of the Mumbai-Pune-Nasik
industrial triangle, Nasik retains its status as one of Maharashtra's
most holy and ancient cities. |
