Have you been to Nashik? What is the best aspect of Nashik that wooed you during your
first visit?
Well! It can either be the beautiful landscapes or the
sacred places of the city!
Not bragging about the city, when asked one of the tourist
groups in Nashik regarding the places they visited in the city and the best
part of the entire tour, “Nashik’s best quality is the heavenly, quiet and peaceful
locations with so many temples to visit and enjoy nature to the fullest” said
Jane, a member of the group.
Popular for its numerous sacred places and over 2000 temples
in the city, Nashik is hosting one of the hallowed festivals of India, the Kumbh
Mela. The mega event is believed to be celebrated depending on the position According
to the scholars, of Jupiter (Brhaspati) and the sun. According to the scholars, it is believed
that when there was a fight between the Gods and the demons over the nectar,
Lord Vishnu took away the pot of nectar spilling drops of nectar at four
different places where the Kumbh Mela is celebrated even today. The places
being Hardwar, Nashik, Ujjain and Prayag!
Celebrated once in every 12 years, the Kumbh Mela in Nashik
attracts millions of people across the globe! Previously celebrated in the year
2013 in Allahabad, Kumbh Mela was expected to be attended by over a 100 million
pilgrims and tourists.
What the city looks like today varies to a great extent if
you compare the scenario of the city just a few years back! With the advent of
the preparations for the huge event, the city is witnessing developments in the
infrastructure of the city. The growth in the real estate sector has enabled
the Indian government to make accommodation arrangements for the tourists and
also, provide better living spaces to the locals with a raised standard of
living. If you plan to be a part of the mega event in 2015 at Nashik, you can
start your preparations today!
