This issue of ‘Maharashtra Unlimited’ puts Nashik in the limelight, and celebrates the Kumbh Mela, possibly the greatest human gathering in the world. Just 170 kilometers from Mumbai, Nashik is located on the banks of the mighty river Godavari which originates near the city. It is here on the banks of the Godavari, that early settlers had their homes, temples and traditional businesses. In the old city, you will find several ancient temples which are architectural wonders with their beautiful carvings, charming weekly markets, quaint shops selling intricately crafted, exquisite artefacts made out of silver, copper and brass. Homes in the old city date back to bygone times with carved wooden designs in their doors, walls and balconies. All around the city, one can go hiking in the Sahyadris, visit gently rolling vineyards, ancient temples, Buddhist and Jain caves among others.

A city that has evolved with the times and its people - embracing the cultures, arts and traditions of the various people that settled here, Nashik today has a perfect combination of the old, coexisting with the new: a city of temples & traditions that is now also known for its wine tourism, technical prowess and vibrant people, captured for you in the latest edition of ‘Maharashtra Unlimited’.
