PLACES
OF ITINERARY INTEREST
This
thirtha kshetra covers a wide area with a wide variety of worth visiting places
- it is famous as the source of holy river Godavari; the seat of one of the
Jyotirlingas; the abode of Siva in the form of Mountain, called Brahmagiri; the
birth place of several thirthas like Varahathirtha, Kushavartha thirtha etc; the
sacred tapobhumis with scores of hermitages of maharshis and centre of
Bouddharmas. So it is a veritable paradise with gates flung open for the theists
to visit thirthas And offer prayers, and the tourists to go about feasting their
eyes with scenic grandeur of the primeval forests and mountains, on the lap of
Nature in their full splendour. And Nasik the erstwhile second capital of Maharashtra
has many charms - religious and historical that detain the visitors for couple
of days. And this sprawling city has all the facilities for comfortable stay
too. Let us visit one after another moving from peaks to plains.
