This divine appearance of Ganga at the mountain is known today as <strong data-start=\"1148\" data-end=\"1161\">Gangadwar<\/strong>, the earliest point where the river emerges.<\/p><p data-start=\"1210\" data-end=\"1495\">However, the strong flow of the river made it difficult for Sage Gautam to bathe and complete his rituals. He then surrounded the flowing water with <strong data-start=\"1359\" data-end=\"1374\">Kusha grass<\/strong>, creating a stable kund. The river slowed down and formed a calm, sacred pond where the sage finally purified himself.<\/p><p data-start=\"1497\" data-end=\"1779\">This holy spot came to be known as <strong data-start=\"1532\" data-end=\"1551\">Kushavart Tirth<\/strong> \u2014 \u201cKusha + Aavartan,\u201d meaning a kund formed with the help of Kusha grass.<br data-start=\"1625\" data-end=\"1628\" \/>Today, Kushavart is worshipped as the <strong data-start=\"1666\" data-end=\"1716\">spiritual starting point of the River <a href=\"https:\/\/nashikinfo.in\/ganga-godavri-temple\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Godavari<\/a><\/strong>, from where the river begins its long journey towards the sea.<\/p><hr data-start=\"1781\" data-end=\"1784\" \/><h2 data-start=\"1786\" data-end=\"1821\"><strong data-start=\"1789\" data-end=\"1821\">How to Reach Kushavart Tirth<\/strong><\/h2><p data-start=\"1822\" data-end=\"1881\"><strong data-start=\"1822\" data-end=\"1835\">Location:<\/strong> Trimbakeshwar, Nashik District, Maharashtra<\/p><ul data-start=\"1883\" data-end=\"2194\"><li data-start=\"1883\" data-end=\"2007\"><p data-start=\"1885\" data-end=\"2007\"><strong data-start=\"1885\" data-end=\"1897\">By Road:<\/strong><br data-start=\"1897\" data-end=\"1900\" \/>Nashik City to Trimbakeshwar \u2013 approx. 28 km<br data-start=\"1946\" data-end=\"1949\" \/>Frequent buses, auto-rickshaws, and taxis are available.<\/p><\/li><li data-start=\"2011\" data-end=\"2089\"><p data-start=\"2013\" data-end=\"2089\"><strong data-start=\"2013\" data-end=\"2041\">Nearest Railway Station:<\/strong><br data-start=\"2041\" data-end=\"2044\" \/><em data-start=\"2046\" data-end=\"2075\">Nashik Road Railway Station<\/em> (about 40 km)<\/p><\/li><li data-start=\"2091\" data-end=\"2194\"><p data-start=\"2093\" data-end=\"2194\"><strong data-start=\"2093\" data-end=\"2113\">Nearest Airport:<\/strong><br data-start=\"2113\" data-end=\"2116\" \/><em data-start=\"2118\" data-end=\"2140\">Ozar Airport, Nashik<\/em> (approx. 45 km)<br data-start=\"2156\" data-end=\"2159\" \/><em data-start=\"2161\" data-end=\"2177\">Mumbai Airport<\/em> (approx. 180 km)<\/p><\/li><\/ul><p data-start=\"2196\" data-end=\"2293\">After reaching Trimbakeshwar, Kushavart is within walking distance from the Trimbakeshwar Temple.<\/p><hr data-start=\"2295\" data-end=\"2298\" \/><h2 data-start=\"2300\" data-end=\"2326\"><strong data-start=\"2303\" data-end=\"2326\">Timings &amp;
