Introduction to Omkareshwar
Omkareshwar, one of the holiest towns in Madhya Pradesh, is revered as one of the 12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva. Situated on the Mandhata Island in the Narmada River, the town derives its name from the sacred Om (ॐ) shape formed by the river around the island. Omkareshwar is not only a major pilgrimage site but also a place of breathtaking natural beauty, surrounded by serene waters and lush hills.
Origination of Omkareshwar
The history of Omkareshwar is deeply rooted in Hindu mythology. According to legends, the site was blessed when Lord Shiva manifested as a Jyotirlinga after being pleased with the penance of the great King Mandhata.
