Panchavati

Panchavati is a sacred religious area located on the left bank of the Godavari River in Nashik, Maharashtra. The name derives from 'Panch' meaning five and 'Vati' meaning banyan tree, referencing ancient banyan trees believed to have existed there since Ramayana times. It is revered as the site where Lord Rama, Sita, and Lakshmana resided during their exile and contains significant landmarks including Sita Gufa, Kalaram Temple, and Ramkund.
