Nasik

Nasik lives on the banks of the Godavari. The river has been tamed, embanked, to make it easier for its children to walk by her, to sit by her. Sadhus with child initiates walk its banks. The sand is interrupted by a small hawan kund- container of the sacrifical fire, which is a very old one. small temples rest on the paved banks. The river has let herself be cut by paved paths on which candy floss is sold. Small boats take passengers out into the river, to see the many temples that stand like little pennants along the large mother.
