Mythological History about Trimbakeshwar or Tryambakeshwar

Trimbakeshwar is a religious center having one of the twelve Jyotirlingas. 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).
All other Jyotirlingas have Shiva as the main deity. The entire black stone temple is known
for its appealing architecture and sculpture and is at the foothills of a mountain called
Brahmagiri. Three sources of the Godavari originate from the Brahmagiri mountain.

Mythology about Godavari river

Brahmadev worshipped God Trivikram when he came to Satya Loka ( the earth) with the
same holy water of the Ganges, to get the river Ganges held up by God Shankar on his
head, to flow. There was a famine of 24 years and people were affected by the pangs of
hunger.

Gautam Rishi influence

However, Varun - the God of Rains, pleased with Sage Gautama arranged rains every day
in Gautama's Ashram (dwelling place) which was in Trimbakeshwar. Gautama used to sow
rice in the surrounding fields of his Ashram in the morning, reap the crop in the afternoon
and with it fed a large group of rishis, who took shelter in his Ashram on account of the
famine. The blessings of the group of rishis increased the merit (Punya) of Gautama. Lord
Indra's position became shaky because of his increased merit. So Indra ordered clouds to
rain all over Trimbakeshwar, so that the famine will be over and Rishis will go back and the
increasing merits of Gautama will be weakened. Although the famine was over, Gautama
urged the Rishis to stay back and kept on feeding them and gaining merit. Once he saw a
cow grazing in the paddy field and he drove her away by throwing Darbha (sharp, pointed

grass). The slender cow died by this. It was Jaya - Parvati's friend, who had taken the form of
a cow. This news upset the Rishis and they refused to lunch at his Ashram.
Gautama requested Rishis to show a way out of this sin. He was advised to approach Lord
Shiva and request him to release Ganges and a bath in the Ganges would set him free of his
sins. Gautama then practiced penance by going to the peak of Brahmagiri. Lord Shankara
was pleased by his worships and gave him the Ganges.

Kusavarta, a place where riverGodavari takes

course.
However, Ganges was not prepared to part with Lord Shiva, which irritated him. He made
TandavNrutya (dance) on the peak of Brahmagiri and dashed his jata there. Frightened by
this action, Ganges appeared on Brahmagiri. Later on Ganges appeared in the Trimbak
Tirtha. Gautama praised her but she off and on appeared on the mountain at various places
and disappeared in anger. Gautama could not bathe in her waters. Ganges then appeared
in Gangadwar, Varaha-tirtha, Rama-Laxman tirtha, Ganga Sagar tirtha. Still Gautama could
not bathe in her waters. The Gautama surrounded the river with enchanted grass and put a
vow to her. The flow stopped there and the tirtha thus came to be called Kushavarta. It is
from this Kushavarta that the river Godavari flows up to the sea. The sin of killing a cow by
Gautama was wiped off here.

More About Nagbali and Kalsarpa Shanti??

This place is famous for lots of religious rituals (vidhis). Narayan Nagbali, Kalsarpa Shanti,
Tripindi vidhi are done here. Narayan Nagbali puja is performed at Trimbakeshwar only. This
puja is performed in three days. This puja is performed on special dates. Some days are not
suitable to perform this puja. This puja is performed for many reasons like to cure an illness,
going through bad times, killing a Cobra (Nag), childless couples, financial crisis or you
want to perform some religious puja to have everything.
Trimbakeshwar town has a large number of Brahmin households and is also a centre for
Vedic Gurukuls (kind of boarding school). It also has ashrams and Muths devoted to
Ashtanga Yoga, the Hindu art of living.

The existing temple was built out of basalt after it was commissioned by Peshwa
Nanasaheb. It so happens that the Peshwa made a bet on whether the stone surrounding
the Jyotirlinga, is hollow from the inside or not. The stone was proved to be hollow, and on
losing the bet, the Peshwa built a marvelous temple out of it. The Shiva deity of the temple
consisted of the world famous Nassak Diamond. It was appropriated by the British in
The Third Anglo-Maratha War and lies with one owner or the other ever since. The diamond
presently lies with Edward J. Hand, a trucking firm executive from Greenwich, Connecticut,
USA
The place is known for its scenic beauty in rainy/monsoon season and is surrounded by lush
green hills untouched by pollution. Anjaneri mountain, the birthplace of Lord Hanuman, is
7 km from Trimbakeshwar.
