We’ve been to Shiridi last weekend and extended our trip to Nasik & Triambak aswell. I am a travel freak and love to visit ancient places with age old temples or palaces. Triambak is a small-town place with a marvelous temple guarded by western ghats. There is a famous temple built for Lord Shiva. More than the diety, I’ve enjoyed the sculpture. It’s truly splendid to watch the huge campus with vast range of carvings and statues. One can easily figure out the amount of thought that has gone in while planning. The temple reflected the Orissa style of architecture where the shrine is not pointed and has a curvy tip.
Triambak is 35 km away from Nasik and route is quite scenic and breathtaking with the chain of hills driving along with us. You can surely enjoy the unpolluted, country ride! Triambak is the birthplace of the holy river Godavari. The actual spot is located on a hill top and all we could notice is a thin stream of water. I was amazed to realize that this almost invisible flow transforms itself into an enormous flood.Godavari couples with the underground water bodies and becomes larger than life at “Rajahmundry” . This is one reason, she is addressed as “Akhanda Godavari”.
After Triambak, we started our return journey to Nasik which is famous for the following:· Triveni Sangam – Union of three rivers – Godavari, Aruna and Varuna
· Currency Printing press – Do you know that Indian currency is printed at Nasik?

Triveni sangam is surrounded by many ancient temples such as kalaram, goraram, sita guha. Once again, it was a feast to my eyes and I was almost lost in our rich heritage.
India is still a rich country with its world’s richest & ancient heritage of temples and palaces.
