IRCTC VIJAY-SHIRDI-SHANI-NASIK PACKAGE
Package Description:
Shirdi is popular for Shirdi Sai Baba who was regarded by his devotees as a Saint, Fakir, and Satguru according to their individual proclivities and beliefs. It is one of the richest temple organisations. One of his well-known epigrams, "Sabka Malik Ek" ("One God governs all"), is associated with Hinduism, Islam and Sufism. He also said, "Trust in me and your prayer shall be answered".
Shani Shingnapur is popular for Shani Temple with the fact that no house in the village has doors, only door frames. Despite this, no theft was reported in the village until 2010. In January 2011, the United Commercial (UCO) Bank opened a 'lockless' branch in the village, the first of its kind in the country, taking note of the near-zero crime rate in the region.
Muktidham is a marble temple complex honouring various Hindu gods which has replicas of 12 Jyotirlingas. Also, unique to this temple are 18 chapters of Geeta written on the walls. Thousands of Hindu devotees visit Muktidham Temple during Kumbh Mela.
Panchavati literally means "a garden of five banyan trees" which are said to have been there during the exile of Lord Rama. Panchavati was the name of a section in the huge forest of Dandakaranya, where Rama with the help of Lakshmana built a nice hut called a home. There is a place called Tapovan where Lakshmana cut-off the nose of Surpanakha, the sister of Ravana, when she attempted to kill Sita. The entire Aranya Kanda (book of the forest) of Ramayana is set in Panchavati.
Trimbakeshwar or Tryambakeshwar is an ancient Hindu temple in the town of Trimbak dedicated to the God Shiva and is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas. Originally, there were believed to be 64 jyotirlingas while 12 of them are considered to be very auspicious and holy. The extraordinary feature of this Jyotirlinga is its three faces embodying Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu and Lord Rudra, whereas other Jyotirlingas have Shiva as the main deity.
