Owing its name to the Ramayana epic, Nasik is believed to be the site of Lord Ram, his wife Sita and his brother Lakshmana's 14 year long exile. Derived from the Sanskrit word 'Nasika', it is here that Lakshman cut off Shoorpanakha's nose for trying to seduce Ram. The famous Sita Gufa (or caves), from where it is believed that Ravana abducted Sita, stands testimony to this legend. Hosting the famous Kumbha Mela every 12 years, Nasik is also home to one of the 12 holy Jyotirlinga's in the country. In stark contrast to this piety lies its wineproduction industry. Dubbed as the Napa Valley of India, this beautiful town surrounded by the Sayhadri Hills and the Western Ghats produces some of the finest wines in the country.
