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.
