NASIK
- TRIYAMBAKEWSAR JYOTIRLINGA |
|

The
Temple
The
Triyambakeshwar temple enshrining one of the twelve jyotirlingas is
quite magnificent and built on the Indo-Aryan style. Its imposing
dimensions, architectural adornments are quite befitting of its
eminence. It is surrounded
by a massive stone wall pierced by two dwaras and covers 260 x 220
feet area. It is built in black stone by Balaji Baji Rao between
1760 -- 1761 on the old site, which of, course, was very modest in
size and sculpture. Tall dipmalas adorn the Mahadwara on either
side. In front of the temple, a beautifully sculptured bull -- Nandi
is installed in a cupola. Another marble one is found inside. To the
eastern most part lies a square mantap of huge proportions. It has
doors on all sides and its porches are decorated with cusped arches
and moulded pillars. Then comes the antarala lying between garbha
griha and big mantap.
