Where the sacred Godavari river — the Dakshin Ganga — springs forth from Brahmagiri mountain itself… there, a scripture-ordained Vedic ritual will be performed in your name and gotra. Nestled in the lap of the Sahyadri range in Nashik district stands the holy abode of Shri Trimbakeshwar Mahadev — where the three faces of the Jyotirlinga themselves represent Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh — learned acharyas versed in the Vedas and Vedangas perform Vedic Rudrabhishek, Mahamrityunjaya chanting, Shiv Pujan and a special Sankalp in your name and gotra — whether you travel there yourself or have a pandit perform the darshan-pooja on your behalf from home. This is not merely a pooja, but a Vedic spiritual ritual to receive the divine grace of Lord Shiva. ॥ Har Har Mahadev ॥

Written guaranteeAccording to the Shiv Purana, the twelve sacred sites where Lord Shiva himself appeared in the form of Jyoti (light) are known as the twelve Jyotirlingas. They are spread across India and are regarded as the highest pilgrimage sites for devotees of Shiva.
Among these, Shri Trimbakeshwar holds the honor of being the eighth Jyotirlinga — located in Nashik district, Maharashtra, at the foot of Brahmagiri mountain in the Sahyadri range, close to the source of the sacred Godavari river (Dakshin Ganga). This Jyotirlinga is renowned for its uniqueness — here, the three faces of the Shivling themselves represent Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh (the Trideva). It is also a major center of the Nashik-Trimbakeshwar Simhastha Kumbh Mela, and Narayan Nagbali and Kaal Sarp Dosh poojas are performed here in a special manner.
The journeys to the remaining eleven Jyotirlingas will also be available on Mangal Bhav in due course. Tap a number on the wheel to learn about each Jyotirlinga.
Layered in history and faith, this temple holds a special place for devotees of Shiva—
Trimbakeshwar, nestled in the lap of the Sahyadri range in Nashik district, Maharashtra, holds a unique and rare place among the twelve Jyotirlingas described in the scriptures. Witnessed by Brahmagiri mountain and the source of the sacred Godavari, the tradition of Shiva worship here has continued unbroken for ages.
Devotees come here from across India and abroad to receive the blessings of Lord Trimbakeshwar and to have Rudrabhishek and Darshan Pooja performed according to scriptural methods.
A ritual performed in scripture-ordained sequence by qualified acharyas — in your name and gotra.
