Sita Gufaa

Location

Sita Gufaa is believed to be the place where Sita was kidnapped by the demon king Ravana. The literal connotation of Gufaa is a cave and it is located at the western side door of Kalaram Temple. The nearby premises of the temple holds five Banyan trees and that is the reason the place is called by the name Panchavati.

The cave has idols of Lord Ram, Sita and Lakshmna. The cave is accessible only through the help of a narrow staircase. Other significant importance of this temple is that the Shivlinga in the temple is the same idol, which was worshipped by Sita. It is one of the main attractions of Nasik.
