Nashik's Kapaleshwar Temple is sacred to Lord Shiva. Hop, skip and jump away from the iconic Ramkund, the temple is quite unusual because, like other Shiva shrine, there is no statue of Lord Nandi, the gatekeeper of Shiva. According to the legends, the temple was the place where Lord Shiva performed penance after taking a holy dip in Ramkund to wash off his sin. The reason why there's no Nandi statue in the temple is because Lord Shiva regarded Nandi as a Guru or teacher and hence, there is no Nandi to guard the Kapaleshwar Temple.

Then, he was asked by Nandi to visit Nashik to take a bath in

Place of spirituality... having extraordinary energy.. try to attend Saturday's Mahaarti, which will help to fulfill your wishes... also attend the HariHar bhet ( which is generally held after diwali)...if u visit with pure mind and trust you will definitely feel the energy of supreme Mahadeva...

Kapaleshwar Mahadev mandir is a very unique mandir in India. It is located in pilgrimage city nashik,maharashtra in panchavati region. Firstly there was just a shivling , but the temple was developed during the era of Peshwas. This is the one and only mandir where nandi is not present. Here lord mahadeva is in a student form. History tells us that lord shiva had cutted one face of lord brahma; as that face used to always speak negativity . And hence to do pryashit of this brahamahyatya lord mahadeva started searching various ways. Then he listen a saying from nandi that if he bath in the holy water of ganga at this place then he could be set free from this Paap. So lord mahadeva told to nandi you are my guru as you showed me the way of prayshit so in this way giving gurus sthan to nandi its idol is not presented outside this temple.One can see Ramkund from, this place as ramkund is present just below this temple.
