Someshwar Temple
Someshwar is a beautiful nature spot, situated on the Gangapur Road on the way to Gangapur dam, about 7 kms away from Nasik city. The place derived its name from the Someshwar temple located on the banks of the river Godavari. Someshwar and its surroundings is the favourite place of movie makers as it is surrounded by greenery all over with a pleasant climate. Other attraction of this place is the 10 meter long Dudhsagar waterfalls.
On the way to Someshwar, there is a village named Anandwalli. It is said that Peshwas - Anandibai and Raghobadada, lived there for some time and hence the place is called so. The Navasha Ganpati temple located at Anandwalli is believed to be built by them.
It is the Balaji temple which is a replica of the one in Tirupati. Lakshadeep Utsav is celebrated at the temple every year on the day of Kojagiri Pournima, Tripuri Pournima and Lakhsmi Pujan when over one lakh lamps are lit in the temple premises.
