Trimbakeshwar Jyotirling temple
is an ancient temple in the town of Trimbak, in the Trimbakeshwar tehsil in the Nashik District of Maharashtra, 28 km from the city of Nashik. It is dedicated to the God Shiva and is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas.
Kusavarta, a kunda (sacred pond) in the temple premises is the source of the Godavari River, the longest river in India. The current temple was built by Peshwa Balaji Baji Rao (Nanasaheb). The extraordinary feature of the Jyotirlinga located here is its three faces embodying Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu and Lord Rudra. Due to excessive use of water, the linga has started to erode. It is said that this erosion symbolizes the eroding nature of human society. The Lingas are covered by a jeweled crown which is placed over the Gold Mask of Tridev (Brahma Vishnu Mahesh). The crown is said to be from the age of Pandavs and consists of diamonds, emeralds, and many precious stones. The crown is displayed every Monday from 4-5 pm (Shiva).
