Nashik city of India
Short brief history of Nashik city of India
Nashik formerly it was known as Gulshanabad and it is important historically, mythologically, socially and culturally city. Known for the temples on the banks of the Godavari and it has historically been one of the holy sites of the Hindu and Muslim religion.
The city is situated on the banks of the Godavari River, making it one of the holiest places for Hindus all over the world. Nashik has a rich historical past, as the mythology has it that Lord Rama, the King of Ayodhya, made Nashik his abode during his 14 years in exile. At the same place Lord Laxman, by the wish of Lord Rama, cut the nose of "Shurpnakha" and thus this city was named as "Nashik".
In 1869, the region came to enjoy unbroken peace. Nashik was made a full-fledged district with its present talukas. With the return of peace Nashik flourished into prosperity. Reasons, political, religious, and commercial, led to its rapid development. With the construction of the railway, going from Bombay to north-east, from very near the city, religious minded devotees came to be attracted to the town in increasing numbers where they made their purchases of various artistic and useful articles. This made Nashik a great trade center where artisans skilled in manufacturing utensils and smiths excelling in workmanship in silver and gold crowded to ply their trade. Already Nashik was a highly flourishing town even under later Maratha rule and some time during that period the sow car families like Barves, Vaishampayans and Gadres of the locality started their financial activity. Under Maratha rule, they advanced sums to finance military campaigns of feudal Sardars and in their later times their Pedhis gradually began to finance the flourishing trade in metalware and fabrics as well as in grapes and onions.
