History
The Godavari river originates on the Brahmagiri hills above the temple. The unusual linga is a small hollow with three thumb-sized lingas representing the Trimurti, covered with a jewelled crown. The present temple was built by the Peshwa Balaji Bajirao (Nanasaheb) in the 18th century. Trimbak is a centre for Narayan Nagbali and Kalsarpa rituals, and one of the venues of the Kumbh Mela (Nashik-Trimbak).
