Muktidham Temple
White-marble temple complex with replicas of all twelve Jyotirlingas and the Bhagavad Gita inscribed on its walls.
Muktidham, built in the 1970s, is a large white-marble temple close to Nashik Road railway station. Its main hall houses replicas of the twelve Jyotirlingas, so devotees can offer prayers to all twelve in one place, and the chapters of the Bhagavad Gita are inscribed on the walls.
Its location near the station makes it an easy first or last stop on a Nashik visit.
Visiting tips
- A good stop on arrival or before your train from Nashik Road.
