Shree Kalaram Mandir Sansthan is a renowned Hindu temple located in the sacred city of Nashik, Maharashtra. Dedicated to Lord Rama, this historic temple is one of the most significant religious sites in India. The temple derives its name from the black-colored idol of Lord Rama (Kala meaning black and Ram referring to Lord Rama). Alongside Lord Rama, the temple also houses idols of Goddess Sita and Lord Lakshmana.
Built in 1792 by Sardar Rangarao Odhekar, the temple stands in the Panchavati area, which holds deep mythological importance as the place where Lord Rama, Sita, and Lakshmana are believed to have spent a part of their exile. The temple is an architectural marvel, made from black stone and adorned with intricate carvings that depict scenes from Hindu scriptures.
Managed by the Shree Kalaram Mandir Sansthan Trust, the temple plays a crucial role in preserving Hindu traditions, conducting religious rituals, and organizing grand celebrations of festivals like Ram Navami, Dussehra, and Hanuman Jayanti. The temple also offers daily aartis, bhajans, and spiritual discourses, attracting thousands of devotees from across India.
With its rich historical, spiritual, and architectural significance, Shree Kalaram Mandir remains a must-visit pilgrimage site for devotees seeking divine blessings and cultural enrichment.
