Naroshankar Temple

This famous, 18th-century Hindu temple built for Shiva on the riverbank features a large bell.

Built by Naroshankar Rajebahaddur, a commander of the Maratha Empire, in 1747, the Naroshankar Temple in Nashik is dedicated to the Hindu gods Shiva and Rama. It lies in Panchavati, a holy site and pilgrimage destination closely associated with the mythology of Rama and the epic Ramayana. The temple, located on the banks of the Godavari River, has been built in the style of Maya architecture and is a rather rare and beautiful 18th-century temple. The main structure lies atop an elevated platform, with the main deity placed on the outer part of the temple instead of inside. The temple has striking decorative lacework and designs of peacocks with bead garlands.
On all four directions of the temple lie statues of sages in the Padmasana pose, with one hand holding a rosary and another holding a holy book. Some of these statues have partially fallen to the ravages of time, and there are several carvings of elephants, tigers, monkeys and other animals as well. With an 11-foot fortification around it, the temple had four umbrellas or Meghadambari on its four corners. Only three remain right now; one was washed away in the Godavari floods. The fortification has the famous bell house that has the Naroshankar Bell inside, a memorial built to commemorate the Maratha Empire’s victory over the Portuguese.

incredible India🇮🇳

Beautiful temple situated on the bank of godavari river. Temple was build by Naroshankar around 1747. Temple contains huge bell which was brought from Portugese territory Vasai. Chimaji Appa, brother of Shrimant Bajirao Peshwa, They defeated the Portuguese and liberated the Vasai Fort. Such bells are available at lot of places in pune, nashik region like Baneshwar in pune.
This bell is having local significance from flood perspective. So when flood reaches till bell it is assumed that flood is at its peak.
Archieologically, place is beautiful but somewhat neglected and not maintained.

An old Mahadev temple on the Ghat of Goadavari has some great carvings on the walls. I assume that the architecture of Trimbakeshwar mandir is inspired from this temple... Please correct me if i am wrong. A bit lost kind of place i guess needs more attention from the local athourities. A must visit temple.

The temple is situated at bank of Godavari river. Great architecture and design of this temple. The temple build by naroshsnkar ji during peshwa’s in 18th century. Just amazed to see the beautiful temple not only outside looks beautiful but inside also

The Naroshankar Temple is a great example of the architectural style called "Maya" dating back to the 18th century. The main temple is built on a platform and its interiors as well as exteriors are adorned with stunning carved structures and ornamental works that contains elaborate laceworks, peacocks holding bead garlands etc. The four directions of the temple are adorned with statues of the saints in Padmasana and its four corners are decorated with umbrellas, commonly known as 'Meghadambari' or 'Barasati', of which only three are existing, the other being washed away in Godavari floods. The temple is surrounded by a 11 feet fortification with a huge bell house in its center which houses the famous Naroshankar Ghanta bell. The bell house is a memorial to celebrate the victory over the Portuguese by the Maratha Ruler Bajirao Peshwa’s younger brother Chimaji Appa who won the fort of Vasai from the Portuguese. Naroshankar Rajebahaddur had played a vital role in this war and the bell is awarded to him for his bravery. The ringing of this bronze bell measuring six feet diameter can be heard up to about 5 kilometers.
