One of the holy places of not only Maharashtra but the whole India is near Nashik. Trimbakeshwar is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas in India.

At the time of the marriage of Lord Shiva with Parvati, all the Deva rishis gathered together. Brahma dev, the creator of the Universe, seeing the beauty of Parvati, had a discharge of semen. Lord Shiva observing this, offered him water of Ganges, the purest water and said, "You will wipe off your sin by this water". Brahmadev kept the holy water in his kamandal (a particular container made out of dried fruit carried by Sadhus) and was purified by its bath.
