Ramkund

Ramkund is the most sacred ghat in Nashik on the banks of the Godavari River — where Lord Rama bathed during his 14-year exile and where Laxman cut off Surpanakha's nose, as described in the Ramayana. One of the Kumbh Mela sites (held every 12 years, called Simhastha Kumbh Nashik), it draws millions of Hindu pilgrims for ritual holy dips. Ashes of many prominent Indians, including Pandit Nehru and Mahatma Gandhi, were immersed here. A top Nashik spiritual attraction.
