Nashik's Kushavart Tirth will be off-limits to worshippers until October 31, 2026, as part of renovation and development projects for the upcoming Simhastha Kumbh Mela in 2027. During this time, the tank's water will be drained, and various enhancements will be made, such as upgrading the water purification system, repairing water supply infrastructure, conserving the historical structure, installing heritage lighting, and erecting a new flagpole. The local authorities aim to finish the works before the Simhastha preparations intensify.
This closure coincides with Pitru Paksha, a significant period when many devotees usually flock to Trimbakeshwar for religious ceremonies. To ensure devotees' convenience, alternative sites like Ahilya-Godavari Sangam Ghat, Krishna Temple, Indralewshwar Temple, Satyanarayan Temple, and the upcoming Vidhi Bhavan have been designated. The administration has set October 31 as the deadline for completing the renovations, aligning with the preparations for the Simhastha Kumbh flag-raising ceremony.
