Named so because of the part this town played in Indian history

, Nasik is known to many as an engaging and exotic place that is scattered with temples and bathing ghats. Situated on the brink of the river Godavari, this holy town is said to be the site where Lord Rama and Queen Sita were exiled to. Also known as the place where the first Sai Baba was born, Nasik also plays an important role as a pit stop for pilgrims visiting places such as Shirdi and Trimbak. Keeping with its history and the ties it has to the story of Rama and Sita, the tank of Ramkund that is situated in Nasik is a focal point that pilgrims never forget to visit. Said to have been used by the exiled royal couple, it's believed that one who immerses himself in those waters will gain salvation. This pilgrim that is built roughly 68 kms away from the town named Poonch also houses a temple that is considered to be equally sacred and holy. Furthermore there are three extremely picturesque springs that surrounding Ramkund, and during the month of Chaitra, especially during the former part of that month, it's believed that bathing in those springs will bring good health. The origin of the name Ramkund' is a somewhat disputed fact. Because of its connection with the Ramayana story, many believed that Lord Rama himself made the temple situated there and because of this association the place was thus give the name Ram Kund. Others believe though that the temple does not have such an elongated history but was in fact built by the hands of the Kashmir King, Lalitaditya. No matter the dispute regarding its birth though, at present Ramkund is a beautiful and spiritual place that exudes a sense of tranquility that leaves any person feeling calm and peaceful.
