Hello everyone!
For a long time i want to visit 12 jyotirlinga. Fortunately last week i got chance to visit 2 jyotirlinga. Today I'm going to share my experience about one jyotirlinga darshan named trimbakeshwar jyotirlinga which situated in Nashik (Maharashtra).
About temple:
Trimbakeshwar jyotirlinga is an ancient shiva temple located in the trimbak , about 28 km from Nashik in Maharashtra india. This temple located at the foothills of a mountain brahmagiri . River godavari flowes from brahamagiri.
This religious temple is one of the twelfth jyotirlinga. The main part about this temple is that temple has three faces lord bharma, lord vishue and lord shiva. Whereas all other jyotirlinga have only shiva as the main deity.
In these pictures you can see the shivlinga which has 3 thumb size design , which is 3 face of lord brahma, Vishnu and shiva. And most amazing thing is that water in this hole automatically comes for 24 hours.
This is not the main shivlinga picture. Pictures is restricted in the temple.
Architecture of this temple:
This is a huge and beautiful temple made with black stone. It is said that it took 31 years to complete the construction.
The exterior walls of the temple are adorned with sculpture work of running scroll, floral design and figures of god and goddess.
How can we reach there :
You can go there by air, train or road. At trimank there is no airport, but you go pune, Mumbai or nashik first. Then there are many services available to reach there. From Mumbai distance is 193 km, from pune distance is 240 km, from shirdi distance is 114 km and from nashik distance is 28 km.
My experience:
We go there via nashik road. In rainy reason we enjoyed the beauty of nature , the mountains, Greenery and waterfalls its all like heaven 😍
In the evening we reached there. Than we book a dharamshala. There are so many hotels and aashram there with good facilities within 500 meters distance from main temple. We stayed at gagangiri aasharm from 200 meter distance .
In the evening It was raining heavily but we want go temple 2 times. So first in the evening we seek blessings.
Again next morning we went there. It was a beautiful morning with a pleasant weather. The bramhagiri hill views looks so stunning. I captured some shots while walking, let's see:
We can see temple dome which visible 200 meters away , the way to temple, bramhagiri hills and clouds .
Look at this view...it is mesmerizing 😍
Market and the surrounding area crowded with pilgrims and shops selling pooja items and many more things.
We buy that flowers basket and parsaad, kept our bags and slippers at that shop and without wasting any time enter the premises of the trimbakeshwar temple.
Usually we have to wait for 2-3 hours in queue but We visit there Ganpati time so we wait only for 45 minutes for Darshan.
When we was in queue I captured so many photographs of temple with different Angles.
I captured this picture while entering inside the temple. The garbh garh is below the ground level and there is a large mirror kept so pilgrim can have darshan through reflection. There photo is restricted.
After darshan we came out to the temple campus where i captured this photo. Here We click our family picture also.
In the campus we got this parsad laddu. The laddu made with rajgira and jaggery. I love this laddu so much. I considered myself so lucky so i got darshan of mahadev 2 times . It was a nice visiting which i enjoyed so much. Hope you also enjoyed it.
