Trimbakeshwar, the eighth jyotirlinga, stands at the source of the Godavari beneath Brahmagiri hill near Nashik, Maharashtra. Its linga is unique among the twelve: three small faces in the crown of the sanctum, honoured as Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva together — the trimurti as one column of light. The present temple in black basalt is a Maratha masterwork, built in the eighteenth century by Peshwa Balaji Baji Rao (Nana Saheb) — the confederacy's signature on yet another of the twelve.
