Who performs it
The temple
Trimbakeshwar Temple
A Jyotirlinga at the foot of the Brahmagiri hill in Nashik district, beside the Kushavarta kund from which the Godavari is traditionally reckoned to rise. The black basalt temple standing today was built in the middle of the eighteenth century under the Peshwa Balaji Bajirao. The lingam here is unusual: three small faces set within a hollow, read in the local tradition as Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. Purohits of Trimbakeshwar are known across Maharashtra for the ancestral rites and dosha-shanti observances conducted on the Kushavarta ghat.

Vedamurti
Suresh Kulkarni
He was raised in Nashik and studied Karmakanda at the Trimbakeshwar pathashala, then worked for nine years as an assistant on the long Narayan Nagbali and Tripindi sequences before conducting them himself. Twenty-six years on, most of his calendar is remembrance and dosha shanti work at Trimbakeshwar, where the rites run across two or three mornings and cannot be shortened. He briefs families the evening before in Marathi or Kannada, writes out the gotra and the three generations of names himself, and reads them back for correction. He is careful to describe a dosha as a classification found in the kundli and the traditional rite prescribed for it, and nothing more than that.
