It is ideally located at the foothills of amazing Brahmagiri mountains in a naturally scenic location on the banks of the holy river Godavari.

It is acclaimed as the perfect holy location to take bath in the sacred Godavari River. There are many mythological stories connecting Lord Shiva, Parvati, Lord Ganesha, the Ganga and Lord Brahma for the origin of the holy shrine of Trimbakeshwar.
