Ancient Temple Dedicated to Lord Rama.
This is an ancient Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Rama, who lived in Nashik during his 14 years of exile. It is called Kalaram because the idols of Lord Rama, his wife Sita, and his brother Laxman, who accompanied him during his exile, are all made of black (kala in Hindi) stone. There is also a black stone idol of Lord Hanuman, with folded hands, near the entrance.
It is a very prominent temple in the Panchavati area of Nashik and thousands of pilgrims visit it every day. Finding parking around the temple can be a problem. Luckily for us, we had decided to hire a local auto-rickshaw whose driver showed us all the nearby temple and pilgrimage sites. We even left our footwear in the rickshaw before entering the temple.
It is a beautiful temple within a large compound, with some very old trees surrounding it, and well worth a visit. It was built in the 18th century by Sardar Rangarao Odhekar, after he found the black stone idol in the River Gadavari, near Ramkund.
The temple is open for worshippers from 5 am to 10 pm.
