Trimbakeshwara Temple

The three lingas in this 18th century temple dedicated to Trimbakeswara are eye-shaped. Tri means "three," and Ambak means "eye," thus trimbaka means the "three-eyed one," who is Lord Siva. Trimbakeshwara is one of the twelve jyotirlingas. This temple was visited by Lord Caitanya.

This interesting temple was built in 1730 by Baji Rao Peshwa, costing almost million rupees. There is a large tower over the sanctuary.

Non-Hindus are not supposed to enter the temple, but they can go up to the steps and look inside.
