Nashik Rural SP appeals devotees to follow police guidelines during Shravan Somvars in Trimbakeshwar
The month of Shravan, observed from July 25 to Aug 23, sees a massive influx of pilgrims at Trimbakeshwar, one of the 12 Jyotirlingas, located about 30km from Nashik city.
Patil advised devotees to carry only essential items and avoid bringing valuables, as they are at risk of getting lost in the crowd. "No bags will be allowed inside the temple premises," Patil stated. "Do not attempt to touch any unidentified object.
Inform the nearest police personnel immediately," he added.
The police have also requested devotees to park their vehicles only in designated parking areas, and to avoid spreading or believing in rumours. "Clarify any doubts with the police. Do not rely on hearsay," Patil said.
Trimbakeshwar is not only a key pilgrimage site for Shiva devotees, but also the starting point of the sacred Godavari River. During Shravan, devotees undertake a 20-km or 40-km circumambulation of the Brahmagiri mountain as part of their spiritual observance. While the third Monday of Shravan typically sees the heaviest rush, the other Mondays also draw lakhs of devotees for darshan and rituals.

MPTDC hotels' occupancy rate crosses 80% this Shravan
1 2 3 Indore: Madhya Pradesh tourism department has reported around 12 per cent increase in hotel occupancy across Ujjain, Omkareshwar, and Maheshwar for July and Aug due to a surge in visitor footfall during Shravan. The occupancy rate in the circuit surpassed 80% in July and Aug, showing a notable improvement from the previous year's figures. Madhya Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation (MPTDC) stated that their hotels experienced near-complete occupancy due to substantial number of religious visitors during this period, with most properties in Ujjain getting sold out, particularly during weekends. MPTDC Indore regional manager Ajay Shrivastava said, "July and Aug bookings are showing strong numbers, indicating increased interest in the spiritual circuit of Ujjain, Omkareshwar and Maheshwar. Overall, there is a jump of around 12 per cent for July and Aug compared to the same period a year ago. Ujjain leads in booking numbers, largely due to the recently established Shri Mahakal Mahalok, which has emerged as a primary attraction for visitors. " "The newly opened premium property in Ujjain is also experiencing encouraging bookings, underlining the area's appeal and the positive trend in religious tourism," Srivastava added. According to a data released by the department, last year, MP received 13.41 crore tourists which was 19.6 per cent more than in 2023. Pilgrims also set records at religious sites, with 10.7 crore visitors. Ujjain led the way with 7.32 crore pilgrims, while Omkareshwar saw 24 lakh visitors.
