Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga Temple

Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga Temple is a revered Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva located on Omkar Mandhata island in the Narmada River at Omkareshwar, Khandwa district, Madhya Pradesh. It is one of the twelve Jyotirlinga shrines of Shiva and is notable for the island's natural Om shape, its Nagara-style architecture, and its setting at the confluence of the Narmada and Kaveri rivers, attracting pilgrims and tourists year-round.

Visitors can expect a temple town centered on a river island accessed via the Jhula Pul suspension bridge. The main temple has a multi-tiered shikhara, pillared halls and a lingam in the sanctum. Surroundings include Narmada ghats for holy dips, narrow market lanes with prasad shops, a 7 km parikrama path around the island, views of the Narmada and Kaveri confluence, and boat rides. Expect queues for darshan, especially on Mondays and festivals, and a devotional atmosphere with chanting and rituals.
