HistoryEdit

Gomukh Tirth is a famous waterfall in the region which has a height of about 6 ft. The water comes out of a stone structure that resembles mouth of a cow. There are many mythological stories behind this Tirth. The one commonly believed is that of a mahant called Garibanath, who wanted to go to Ganges for the holy bath unbelieving the fact that water from Gomukh originates from Ganges. Then, in order to convince him that the water flowing from the Gomukh teerth is sourced from the Great Ganga itself. The Goddess performed a miracle by which a stick and lemon he threw in Ganges at Varanashi came through Gomukh at Tuljapur.
