8.1 SITE-NASHIK

the site is located near the Godavari River in pune, it connects the old city as well as new city of Nashik it is situated by the Panchvati. Close to Kalaram temple their square measure some terribly previous and lofty banyan trees that square measure believed to be sprung from 5 banyans that gave its name to Panchvati. The name ‘Panchvati’ comes from the words Panch which implies 5 and Vati which implies Ficus bengalensis. this is often the location wherever Sita’s Cave is set. Kalaram temple, Kapaleshwar temple, Ganga Godavari temple, fragmentize Narayan temple, Talkuteshwar temple, temple, Nilkantheshwar Goraram mandir Murlidhar Mandir, Tilbhandeshwar mandir, Balaji temple, Sandvyachi Hindu deity temple, Vitthal temple, Pataleshwar temple, Naroshankar temple, Ramkund, Karthikswami temple, Dutondya Maruti, Katya Maruti temple, Panchmukhi Hanuman temple, Bhadrakali temple, Kapurthala monuments square measure placed in and around Panchavati space. Nashik has earned name of the Banaras of western Asian country because of giant no of temples.

the urban grain defines that the eastern side consists of the old city of Nashik and the west side consist of the new city, the eastern side is more denser than the western side of the area

network which has observed 3 for Panchavati division. Higher the Alpha index shows greater degree of connectivity within the network but for Panchavati division it has observed only 13% which show low degree of connectivity. For the study division the Beta index is 1.14 it means that the Panchavati division has high connected by road network.

Gamma index describes connectivity of networks in percent which has observed 44.44% which show quite well connectivity. If value of pi index is more than 2 then given road network is well connected, for Panchavati division it has observed 3.24, which shows high connectivity but E.T.A. index observed 2.22 km / Nos, which has shown high connectivity. It has observed that the detour has found more than 100.00, it means that these places have affected by relief barriers, the route Makhamlabad Naka to R.T.O has less detour index i.e., 148.00

so it has less effect of relief barrier but the route Meri-Mhasrul to Hirawadi has more detour index i.e.278.33 so it has more effect of relief barriers.

The Shimbel index can be derived from the shortest-path matrix in the study division. The Nimani bus stand has lowest Shimbel index, and the associated number is 3, so it is most accessible node than the other nodes. The highest associated number 5 has observed for Amrutdham and Ramkund where accessibility has found low. For the Panchavati division the mean associated number is 54/14=3.85.

Figure 101 drainage map of Panchvati In Nashik Municipal Corporation area a comprehensive storm water drainage system available. The ground slopes are steep in certain areas (Panchavati area), especially near the Godavari and its tributaries. The average low-lying ground level is 569 m. and the highest ground elevation is at 700 m. The old city is located at low-lying areas while the developed areas are mostly on higher grounds. There are 3 main River basins in the study area as under, The Godavari River flows west to East across approx. 18km. through central area of the city. Nearly 8 nallas meet the river Godavari in this stretch.

The river Nasardi also flows west to east and joins the Godavari on the south bank at Takli. The river Darna flows at the South – Eastern boundary of the study area, and its tributary Valdevi flows from the North – West to South – East and

meets it near Chehedi. The Nasardi, Darna and Waldevi (which meets Darna River) are the tributaries of river Godavari. The drainage pattern lies within the respective ridges of the catchment area. (CDP of Nashik) The inverted ‘S’ shaped river valley has influenced the development of Nashik. Core area is situated on the Right Bank of the river, while Panchvati, a traditional settlement is on the left bank of the Godavari River. So, the Godavari River has divided the earlier settlement. The city is situated in the area between the Godavari and Nasardi River, which was a well defensive site in the olden days, marked by the Godavari and other numerous streamlets.

The great lure of the Deccan covers the complete district. it's entirely of volcanic kind action. The volcanic portion consists of compact stratified basalts associate degree an earthy lure. The basalts is that the most conspicuous geologic feature. In some flows the basalts is columnar then it weathers into the amazing shapes. The formation at the bottom of the traps is primarily amygdale form, containing quarry in vertical veins, crystals and mineral , particularly apophyllite weathering into a grease soil. The absence of soil, that caps the summits of the south, could be a curious feature within the space of earth science. The volcanic rock isn't solely penalized unsmooth however conjointly course and nodular.

the soil valleys square measure crammed with disintegrated volcanic rock of assorted shades from Gray to black, washed down by rain it's of clayey nature. This soil is not favourable for the expansion of enormous trees however it's terribly fertile for cereals and pulse. The black soil contains high corundum and carbonates of metal and magnesium with variable amounts of hydrated oxide, low element and phosphorus. The red soil is RSS common and is appropriate for cultivation beneath an important and consistent rainfall.

usually, deep black soil is found within the study region however older alluvia soil with deep cowl has been discovered in Godavari natural depression.

The isometric of the town is below 2000ft and also the basin is at 1960ft M.S.L. it's a transmutation region from the higher reaches within the Sahyadri’s and also the highland. There square measure some isolated hills close the Nashik town like Pandu hills (323 MT.) within the Japanese finish of the AnjeneriTrimbak vary, in southwest, Chamar Caves within the north.

The Godavari emerges from the most Sahyadri ranges close to Trimbak simply twenty-seven kilometres. from Nashik within the west. The Godavari watercourse encompasses a fan like evacuation pattern; the low gradient of the Godavari watercourse developed on a volcanic rock surface has introduced meanders and sediment banks and potholes. The banks have erosion and depositional options.

The tributaries of the Godavari worn the land to achieve the bottom level of the thirty-three main stream and have graven out their courses, let alone the intermediate parts as mounds, and their square measure 9 hills (Teaks) then, Nashik has associate degree undulating topography.

The 9 hillocks apparently attracted settlement thanks to the seasonal floods of Godavari and locational holiness. These hills at the moment square measure troublesome to trace as a result of the in filling of hollows and depressions by mud. These hills of Nashik were referred to as Teaks. The Juni Gadi is associate degree eighty feet hill wherever initial settlement originated and developed. The Navi Gadi or New Fort is that the place wherever the Muslim Courthouse was settled.

The Kokani Tek was occupied by the Pathan pura. any towards the west were the Jog Tek, that has Jog Wada within the south, and Dargah within the North. within the west there's Mhasrul Tek and Dingarali hill. There square measure alternative smaller teks like Mahalaxmi Tek, Jama place of worship Tek or Sonarali Tek and Hindu deity hill or Hindu deity Tek.

It seems that the 9 teks of Nashik town square measure such sediment mounts, the remnants of the extent surfaces worn by the Saraswati associate degree alternative neighbourhood stream and also the Panchavati space is an sediment platform parched on the high worn locality of shaping machine Godavari and mark aloof from the remainder of the natural depression
