Shree Kapaleshwar Mahadev Mandir Nashik

Shree Kapaleshwar Mahadev Mandir is located in Nashik near the Godavari River and Ramkund in the state of Maharashtra is dedicated to Lord Shiva. The temple, which was built in 1763 A.D., is quite unusual because, like other Shiva shrines, there is no statue of Lord Nandi, the protector of Shiva. It is believed that Lord Shiva accidentally killed a cow, Gohatya and then went to Nandi for a solution to wash off his sin. Then, he was asked by Nandi to visit Nashik to take a bath in Ramkund. As per the Nandi's instruction, he took a holy dip in Ramkund and did Jaap for some time. The temple is located at the same place where Lord Shiva conducted the Jaap.
