Nashik is one of the most important holy places to visit in Maharashtra. As per Hindu mythology, Lord Rama stayed in Nashik during his 14 years of exile. For Rama devotees, a visit to Nashik is incomplete without visiting the famous Kalaram Temple where a black statue of Lord Rama is worshipped. The sanctum sanctorum of the temple also houses black statues of the god Lakshmana and the goddess Sita. Nashik is one of the four main sites for Kumbh Mela. Held once every 12 years, the event attracts millions of devotees from across the globe. In Nashik, besides religious visits, you can indulge in the natural beauty of the city and visit popular attractions such as Dudhsagar Waterfalls, Sula Vineyards, Coin Museum, and Pandav Leni Caves.
