With 140 mm rain recorded in Trimbakeshwar in Nashik district of Maharashtra in the last 24 hours ending on Saturday morning, water has started oozing from the base of the Shiv Linga in the sanctum sanctorum of the famous temple.
According to officials of the Trimbakeshwar Devasthan Trust, the water started trickling out from the 'Jyotirlinga' foundation this morning amid heavy rains.
As per the legend, a channel of the Godavari river, which originates from the Brahmagiri mountain on whose foothills the temple is located, flows at the base of the Shiv Linga.
As per local administration, Trimbakeshwar recorded 70 mm rain in the eight hours from 8 AM to 4 PM on Saturday. With this the quantum of rainfall received in Trimbakeshwar from 8 AM on Friday to 4 PM on Saturday stands at 210 mm.
The heavy rains also caused famous 'Kushavarta' pond to overflow in the town. Water has also gushed into shops and houses, officials said.
The unique feature of the Trimbakeshwar Jyotirlinga is its three faces embodying Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu, and Lord Shiva.
