The Naroshankar Mandir.Its believed that when the bell is rung,the entire Nasik city hears it...maybe the old city.

There are 2 theories about the origin of this famous bell.

One theory says that Sardar Rajebahaddar(in the service of the Peshwa),in one of his campaigns had looted this bell from one Portuguese church and brought home this bell as a trophy.He had brought 2 other bells,one of them is in the Konkan and the other has been taken to the South.

The second theory says that the bell has been cast in Nasik.
