  • Chapter-7 Profile of Nashik District
    Chapter-7 Profile of Nashik District 7.1 A Historical Perspective : Nashik has a personaUty of its own, due to its mythological, historical, social and cultural importance. The city is situated on the banks of the Godavari River, making it one of the holiest places for Hindus all over the world. Nashik has a rich historical past, as the mythology has it that Lord Rama, the King of Ayodhya, made Nashik his adobe during his 14 years in exile. At the same place Lord Laxman, by the wish of Lord Rama, cut the nose of 'Shurpnakha' and thus this city was named as 'Nashik'. In Kritayuga, Nashik was 'Trikantak', 'Janasthana' in Dwaparyuga and later in Kuliyuga it became 'Navashikh' or 'Nashik'. Renowned poets like Valmiki, Kalidas and Bhavabhooti have paid rich tributes here. Nashi in 150 BC was believed to be the country's largest market place. From 1487 AD this province came under the rule of Mughals and was known as 'Gulchanabad'. It was also home of Emperor Akbar and he has written at length about Nashik in 'Ein-e-Akbari'. It was also known as the 'Land of the brave' during the regime of Chhatrapati ShivajiMaharaj. 7.1.1 Ramayana Period : No one knows when the city of Nashik came into existence. It is stated to have been present even in the Stone Age. Lord Ramchandra along with wife Sita and brother Laxman settled down in Nashik for the major time of their 'Vanwasa'. According to the mythology, Laxman cut the nose ('Nasika' in Sanskrita) of 'Shurpanakha' and hence the city got the name 'Nashik'.
