C
Correct answer
Explanation
Nashik is known as the religious capital of Maharashtra due to its numerous temples and sacred sites. It's one of the four cities where Kumbh Mela is held, situated on the Godavari River's banks. Nashik hosts the famous Trimbakeshwar Shiva Temple and is associated with Lord Rama's exile. While Shirdi is famous for Sai Baba, it's a single pilgrimage town, not a comprehensive religious capital like Nashik. Mumbai and Pune are economic and educational hubs respectively.
