Trimbakeshwar houses the temple which is regarded one of the most famous and unique of the 12 Jyotirlingas dedicated to Lord Shiva. Trimbakeshwar temple, river Godavari and the hills of Brahmagiri together make Trimbakeshwar one of the holiest places in India.
The exceptional feature of temple of Trimbakeshwar is that the jyotirlinga of Shiva has three faces which signify Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva.
The temple is built entirely with black stones and has a spire topped with a golden trident. The porch of the temple is decorated with beautifully carved and decorated pillars and arches. The temple walls are intricately sculpted with floral designs and figures of various Gods and Goddesses.
As per legend, Trimbakeshwar was the ‘place of Tri-Sandhya Gayatri’ where Lord Ganesha was born. People perform several religious pujas at Trimbakeshwar to attain a happy and peaceful life.
