Trimbakeshwar Shiva Temple, Hindu temple in Nashik district, India

Trimbakeshwar Shiva Temple is a Hindu temple in Trimbak, Nashik district, India, built of dark, rough stone with a stepped base and two spires, the taller central one topped by a rounded finial and a small flag. Carved bands and a row of small figures cross its facade above a recessed entryway, and the Godavari River originates nearby.

The building rose between 1755 and 1786, when Peshwa Nanasaheb ordered its reconstruction after earlier damage during Mughal rule. This rebuilding brought the form you see today.

Priests at this place keep genealogy registers for Hindu families, recording ancestral lines for pilgrims who come to trace their roots. This tradition draws people from across India seeking connections to their past.

The temple stands in Trimbak, about 28 km from Nashik city and 40 km from Nashik Road station, the nearest railhead. Visitors walk some distance through the village before reaching the main gate. The sanctum shows only the argha, with three tiny lingas visible inside on close inspection.

The inner chamber holds three separate lingas representing the deities Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, carved from black stone within a single sculpture. Such trinity representations are rarely found in other temples.
