Trambakeshwar is an ancient Hindu temple in the town of Trimbak, in the Nashik District of Maharashtra, India.It is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas .

An interesting story behind Trimbakeshwar Jyotirlinga is, one time there was no rain as well as water in that origin. The person was feeling very thirsty and need water to satisfy their thirst. The Gautam Muni was lived there with his wife named Ahilya. When there was not raining from much time, Gautam Muni and his wife Ahilya decided to penance for water. Lord Varun was pleased and appear there for fulfill their desire. They prayer for rain but Lord Varun refused and said that I cannot give you such blessing but I cannot fully refused you cause you both are my great devotees. So, he decided to fulfill their desire and told them, dig a great hole on earth and I will fill that with water, which could not be empty. So, Gautam Muni and his Disciples dug a trough on earth and then Lord Varun filled that with water. Then the famina was fall off and they started the farming.
One day the Gautam Muni need water and called his disciple for carry water. His disciple gone for water but he had taken some more time. Gautam Muni asked his wise about disciple and she replied, I am going for looking him. She saw that his disciple is in queue, she take pot from his hand and take water. Another muni’s wives were very angry and determined to teach a lesson. Muni’s wives reach their home and said to their husbands that Ahilya and her disciple abused to us and they refused to take water from that trough. They also determined to teach a lesson to Gautam Muni and his favorers.
All Muni were gathered there and decided to penance for Lord Ganesh. After a while Lord Ganesh appeared and asked their desire. They replied that Gautam Muni and his favorer abused us and beat our sons and disciples, so we want to revenge and that was our objective to penance you let him suffer. Lord Ganesh was unhappy and told them that you all are foolish and you will have to suffer the brunt. Lord Ganesh explained but they were still and at last Lord Ganesh said “Tathastu”.
One Day at Morning, Gautam muni saw that one caw variable the crops and he want to run away from farm but the caw was died. Other saints saw that happening and try to run away Gautam Muni and his favorer and told that Gautam muni has cow killing, which will see him take that sin. Gautam Muni, Ahilya and his disciples was very sad. Gautam Rishi, therefore, worshipped Lord Shiva to bring the Ganga down to his hermitage to purify the premises. Pleased with devotion, Shiva requested Ganga (Bhagirathi) to flow down and make Sage Gautam pure. After that Ganga flowed down. Lord Shiva told Ganga to stay there eternally for the good of everyone. All the Gods started singing the praises of Gautam Rishi, Ganga and Lord Shiva. On the request of all the Gods, Lord Shiva resided by the river Gautami by the name Trimbakeshwar (one of the Jyotirlingas). Hindus believe that Trimbak Jyotirlinga is one, which fulfills everyone’s desires. It emancipates all from their sins and miseries.
