How Train Got Its Name : Tapovan (Sanskrit) comes from the two root words Tapasya - meaning specifically...
more... austerity, and more generally spiritual practice, and Vana, meaning forest, or wilderness.Tapovan then translates as forest of spiritual practice, wild place for practicing austerities,etc. Traditionally in India, any place where someone has engaged in serious spiritual retreat may become known as Tapovan. Within the city of Nasik, once a part of the holy Dandakaranya forest, Tapovan is a pictorial spot and has a close association with the epic Ramayana. Though the train goes from Mumbai to Nanded, it is quite popular as a day Inter City Express between Mumbai and Nasik.
