Even before the train pulled into Nashik Road railway station, I was smitten by the landscape of this grape valley in the Sahyadri range, in North Maharashtra. Hills encircling the city looked more like mammoth Shivalingams, set against the blue sky and green vineyards!Shivji in samadhiIt was only later I learnt that Nashik was Shiva’s city indeed, with a Jyotirlinga at Trayambak, at the base of Brahmgiri hill. River Godavari, revered as Ganga of the South, also originates from this hill.
