Trimbakeshwar - one of the holiest places that occupy a special position in the religious beliefs of every Hindu. One reason is that it is among the 12 ‘jyotirlingas’ dedicated to Lord Shiva. Located in the Trimbakeshwar taluka of Nashik district where the river Godavari originates at the adjacent hill of Brahmagiri, the place has both historical and mythological significance because of the presence of several caves which have had association with the ‘Nath’ sect. The ‘Kumbh Mela’ which is the largest mass Hindu pilgrimage, is held here every twelve years.

Trirashmi Buddhist Caves - Buddhist rock-cut caves, locally known as the Pandav Leni are a group of 24 caves in the Trirashmi hill (as known from the inscriptions). These were excavated from circa 1st century BCE to circa 6th century CE. These caves contain inscriptions written in the Brahmi script using Prakrit language.

The Kalaram temple - an old Hindu shrine dedicated to Lord Rama in the Panchavati area of Nashik City. It is one of the most important Hindu shrines in the city.
