Among the city tourist attractions, Sita Gumhpa is one of the most attractive places. The cave is located at a drive of just 4 Kilometres from the city of Nashik. It is a religious site which overflows with tourists and devotees from all over the globe. The place is closely related with the Hindu Religion. It was the place where Sita (wife of Lord Rama) used to worship Lord Shiva during her exile. According to Hindu Mythology, people believed that from this Gumpha (cave) Sita was kidnapped by Ravana (the primary antagonist in the Hindu epic Ramayana). It is a narrow cave and a staircase leads to the center of the cave. Inside the cave, people worship idols of Lord Rama, Sita and Lakshmana (brother of Lord Ramana). At the left direction of the cave, Linga of Lord Shiva is worshiped.
