Kalaram Mandir, Nashik, Maharashtra India

This temple was built by Peshwas. The main deities Lord Ram, Sita and Lakshmana are pretty black in colour and festooned with knick-knacks. The gold plated copper dome and other sculptures of this magnificient shrine displays brilliant structural design. The 70 feet high temple happens to be the busiest temples in the locality. There are great processions and utsav on Lord Ram , Laxman, SitaRamnavami, Dasara and Chaitra Padwa (Hindu new year day). The specialty of the temple is that it was built with black stones. It took 12 years to build this temple.
