My TripAdvisor Review No.343: Ramkund, Nashik.

Wash Away Your Sins.

Ramkund is a sacred tank located next to Ganga Ghat in the Panchvati area of Nashik. It is on the banks of the River Godavari which passes through the centre of the holy town of Nashik in Maharashtra.

It is supposed to be a very holy place for the Hindus, where Lord Rama used to come to bathe during his exile of 14 years. There is also a Laxman Kund where his brother Laxman would bathe. Both the places are very sacred. One can make a wish by floating a diya (holy lamp) in a cup made of dry leaves and filled with flowers, which is sold by the street vendors sitting nearby.

Many Hindus come here to immerse the mortal remains of their loved ones, or to take a holy dip to wash off their sins, even though the waters are not very clean or clear.

The Gandhi Memorial, made out of white marble, where the ashes of Mahatma Gandhi were immersed, is also nearby.
