Nashik (/ˈnɑːʃɪk/), Marathi: [naːʃik], formerly Nasik (listenⓘ))[13] is a city in the northern region of the Indian state of Maharashtra. Situated on the banks of the river Godavari, Nashik is the sixth largest city in Maharashtra after Pimpri-Chinchwad. The population of Nashik city is around 2.2 million and is emerging as one of the fastest-growing cities in India. Nashik is located about 165 km northeast of the state capital Mumbai, and about 210 km north from Pune. The Mumbai-Pune-Nashik region is called the "Golden Triangle of Maharashtra". With its high agricultural production, Nashik is dubbed the Napa Valley of India and the "Wine Capital of India" as more than half of India's vineyards and wineries are located here. Around 90% of all Indian wine comes from the Nashik Valley.[1][14] Nashik is one of the Hindu pilgrimage sites of the Kumbh Mela, which is held every 12 years.[15][16]

Etymology

The name, Nashik, derived from the Sanskrit word 'nāsikā' which literally means 'nose'.

According to the Ramayana, Nashik is the location on the banks of the Godavari River where Lakshmana cut the nose of the demoness Surpanakha, hence the name "Nashik."[16] It is also known by the name Panchavati.[17]

It was known as "Gulshanabad" during the Mughal period.[18][19]

History

Mythology

Nashik was known by many names. It was known as "Padmanagar" during the Satya Yuga, "Trikantak" during the Treta Yuga, "Janasthana" during the Dvapara Yuga, and finally "Navashikh" or "Nashik" during the Kali Yuga, according to Hindu traditions.[20] Nashik is significant in mythology, history, social life, and culture. The city is located on the banks of the Godavari River, making it a sacred site for Hindus around the world. During his 14-year exile from Ayodhya, Rama, the king of Ayodhya, is said to have made Nashik his home.[21]

Nasik Tram

Nasik Tram was started from Old Municipal Building on the main road to Nasik Road railway station around 1889. The tram served the people of Nasik for almost 44 years. The tram station was at the Main Road, and the tram reached the Nashik Road railway station via present Main Road, Bhadrakali Market, Ghasbazar, and Phalke road. It covered a distance of about eight to ten km, and the stretch used to be covered with dense jungle at the time. In the article ‘Nashik-then’, poet Kusumagraj has written passionately about trams. He writes, "If the carriages were full, the tram would leave. It would ring the bell and drive out of the village to the main road and then to the grass market.[22]

Revolutionary activities

In 1900s Vinayak Savarkar along with his brother founded a secret society Abhinav Bharat in Nasik Mitra Mela one amongst many in Maharashtra. On 21 December 1909 a member of Abhinav Bharat, Anant Kanhere a student from Aurangabad assassinated Nasik's governor A. M. T. Jackson while he was watching a play in a theatre. Kanhere was arrested on the spot and after investigation police arrest Vinayak Savarkar and others for conspiring against the government to instigate an armed rebellion. The case was known as the "Nasik Conspiracy Case - 1910". In the court trial at Bombay, police alleged Savarkar as brain, moving spirit and inspiration of the conspiracy extending over a number of years. Bombay court sentenced him for life-imprisonment, transportation to notorious Cellular Jail at Andaman, that time the punishment was known as "Kala Pani" (transl. Black water); Savarkar's elder brother Babarao Savarkar also received the same punishment and others received varying degrees of imprisonments. ICS officer Jakson's assassination created sensation in Poona, Nasik and Bombay, the case and subsequently imprisonment made Savarkar famous.[23][24][25] In 1930, the Nashik Satyagraha was launched under the leadership of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar for the entry of Dalits in Kalaram Mandir (Temple). In 1931, a meeting of the Bombay Province Charmkar Parishad was organised in Nashik to work out the Chambhars' position with regard to the Second Round Table Conference in which Babasaheb was going to participate. In 1932, Babasaheb organised his temple entry movement for the abolition of untouchability in Nashik.[26]

Geography

Nashik has lush mountainous terrain

Nashik lies in the northern part of Maharashtra state at 584 m (1,916 ft)[27] from the mean sea level which gives it ideal temperature variation, particularly in winters.[1]

The river Godavari originates from the Brahmagiri Mountain, Trimbakeshwar about 24 km (15 mi) from Nashik and flows through the old residential settlement, now in the central part of the city. Due to high pollution created by factories in proximity to the city, the river was dying at an alarming rate. It has since been successfully cleaned.[28]

Nashik lies on the western edge of the Deccan Plateau, an ancient volcanic formation.[29]

Trimbakeshwar is about 30 km (19 mi) from the city, it is where from river Godavari originates. The land area of the city is about 259.13 km2 (100.05 sq mi).[30]

Climate

The city's tropical location and high altitude combine to give it a relatively mild version of a hot semi-arid climate (Köppen BSh). Temperatures rise slightly in October, but this is followed by the cool season from November to February. The cool season sees warm temperatures of around 28 °C or 82.4 °F during the day, but cool nights, with lows averaging 10 °C or 50 °F, and extremely dry air.
