Omkareshwar Darshan

Visiting Omkareshwar in Madhya Pradesh and paying obeisance to the revered Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga has been on my travel list : not a recent addition, but for long.

I have been visiting and ticking the jyotirlingas in India one by one, since my childhood . Some of these darshans were planned, while others just happened by divine intervention.

So, when I had an opportunity for an Omkareshwar Darshan, courtesy of the Madhya Pradesh Tourism Board, I couldn’t but consider myself blessed.

It seemed like a call from Omkareshwar Mahadev himself!

And, I thought, why not take my readers on a virtual free guided tour of the Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga, located in Madhya Pradesh

through this blogpost of mine.

Meanwhile, for the uninitiated, Shri Omkareshwar is one of the twelve important jyotirlingas in India.

A guided tour of Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga in Madhya Pradesh

Before we embark on this virtual pilgrimage tour of Omkareshwar, let me answer a few questions that could help us in understanding better the significance of Omakareshwar jyotirlinga.

What is a Jyotirlinga or Jyotirlingam?

In simpler terms, a Jyotirlinga is a manifestation of Lord Shiva (one of the main Hindu trinity) in the form of a ‘Jyoti’ or ‘light’. The lingam represents a beam of light.

Why did he manifest as a beam of light and what happened next, forms the legend of all jyotirlinga temples, including that of the Omkareshwar Mahadev.

The divine rituals being performed by the devotees at Omkareshwar temple

Legend around Jyotirlinga

One of the legend says that once when a fight of superiority broke between gods Vishnu and Brahma, god Shiva played the role of a mediator in it.

As a mediator, Shiva transformed himself into an endless pillar of light that stretched across the three worlds.

He then challenged them to find the tag ends of this legion.

To succeed in this challenge, Vishnu took the form of a boar and went downwards in search to the other world.

Soon, he gracefully conceded defeat when he couldn’t find the end of the light.

However, Brahma having taken the form of a swan flew in search upwards, towards the north, but lied about finding the end.

Of course, Lord Shiva knew he was lying, as the beam of light into which he manifested was endless, the jyotirlinga.

Hence, Brahma was cursed by Shiva who manifested as a second pillar out of the first.

Difference between a Jyotirlinga and Lingodhbhava

The original fiery pillar of light is known as Jyotirlinga — a supreme formless reality, out of which Shiva appears as the lingodhbava .

Madhya Pradesh is blessed with two jyotirlinga s.

One is the Omkareshwar Mahadev at Omkareshwar, while the other is the Mahakaleshwar jyotirlinga in Ujjain .

What is Dwadasa jyotirlinga?

According to ancient texts, there are 64 jyotirlingas , out of which 12 are supremely holy and sacred.

These 12 jyotirlingas are known as Dwadasa jyotirlinga, while Omkareshwar jyotirlinga is one of the 12 supreme jyotirlingas. 

Here are two iconography representations of the Lingodhbhava from the times of the Cholas and Pallavas, of ancient southern India, for additional references.

And, both of these are from Shiva temples at Kanchipuram and Darasuram [ near Kumbakonam in Tamil Nadu].

Where is Omkareshwar?

Still not sure about the location of Omkareshwar jyotirlinga?

Not to worry. Here are complete details:

Situated on the banks of the westward flowing Narmada — holiest of the five Indian rivers, 78 km away from the cleanest city in India, Indore, Omkareshwar is a sacred town in Khandwa district of India’s Madhya Pradesh state.

Omkareshwar is home to the Shri Omkar Mandhata temple, situated on the Mandhata island, which encloses one of the 12 jyotirlingas.

This pilgrim town with many ancient temples often brims with devotees throughout the year, while the devotees strength reaches its peak during the week leading to the yearly Maha Shivaratri celebrations.

Stories around Omkareshwar Mahadev

Omakareshwar was supposedly ruled by Raja Mandatha of the Ikshvaku dynasty ( the same dynasty to which Lord Rama belongs). And, the island of Shivpuri or Mandatha as it is called, used to dazzle like a gem during the Sathya Yuga.

Upon enquiring the reason by Narada ( a Hindu celestial demi-god) to Lord Shiva, the latter responded that the sheen of the island is relatable to the various Yugas .

Hence, it is bound to shine like a gem in Sathya Yuga, gold during the Tretha Yuga, copper during the Dwapara Yuga, and remain like a rock in the Kali Yuga.

Legend around the Omkareshwar jyotirlinga

One of the backstories proclaims that Shiva appeared in the form of a jyotirlinga at Omkareshwar, pleased by the penance of King Mandatha, an ancestor of Lord Rama, belonging to the Ikshvaku clan.

And, thus, the island that got created due to the forking of the river Narmada into two also came to be known as Mandath a island.

Many a time, the island is also referred to as Shivpuri.

A virtual pilgrimage to Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga temple

The main temple of Omkareshwar that is home to the Jyotirlinga is the Shri Omkar Mandhata temple, located on the Sanskrit OM shaped island.

A short walk on the suspension bridge over the revered Narmada marks an entrance to the island of Shivpuri.

Of course, one could even opt for a short boat ride onto the opposite bank.

However, I suggest that you walk one way and opt for a boat ride for your return or vice versa.

Inside the Shri Omkar Mandatha temple

The Shri Omkar Mandhata temple, also simply known as the Omkareshwar mandir, is a five-storied complex with stairs and columns.

While the main tower is built in the Nagara style north-Indian architecture with spires, the rest of the temple complex looks modern and has been extended and renovated over the years.

Adorned with granite pillars and sculptures, the interiors of the Omkareshwar temple is sure to take one back to a bygone era.

Although the original temple seems to have been smaller and compact, subsequent additions and expansions done by the rulers of Parmar, Chauhan, and Maratha dynasties have made sure that the temple complex is elaborate.

The alley leading to the Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga is flanked by colourful stalls selling fruits, flowers, incense sticks for the pooja and other rituals.

A glimpse of the Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga

Upon entering the premises of the main temple of Omkareshwar, a narrow path followed by a fleet of stairs downwards leads to the sanctum sanctorum.

It is here inside the confines of the sanctum sanctorum where Shri Omkareshwar blesses his devotees in the form of a sanctified rock on the floor resembling a sort of shiva lingam.

And, this is one of the 12 Jyotirlinga — the Omkareshwar jyotirling

The Omkareshwar jyotirlinga is offered water perennially , through a pipe, while its uniqueness lies in the absence of the cupola.

Above this jyotirlinga, a sacred silver figurine of the goddess Parvati is installed in a niche. 

It is a ritual to offer prayers to the Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga before taking a glimpse of Goddess Parvati.

However, a glimpse of the jyotirlinga is more of a ‘blink and miss’, due to the crowd of devotees, who swamp the sanctum sanctorum in huge numbers.

Yet, the interiors of the Omkareshwar sanctum sanctorum resonates with divinity and sacredness that is unexplainable.

On a Parikrama around the Omkareshwar temple

A pilgrimage to the Omkarjeshwar jyotirlinga is incomplete without a Parikram a (circumambulation) around the OM shaped island, as well as a visit to the Mamaleshwar temple on the other side of the river bank.

A Parikrama of the Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga could be done either by foot or by engaging a boat.

Of course, the latter is quicker than the former, as the Parikrama path is around 6-7 km in total.

However, the boat ride might take close to 30 minutes, wherein it also makes a short halt at the Sangam, before completing the rest of the Parikrama.

A small stretch still needs to be covered by foot, due to the water currents in the river.

The Sangam at Omkareshwar

Sangam at Omkareshwar is the place where the two tributaries —Narmada and Kuberi (sometimes also called Kaveri) meet.

An idol of the goddess Narmada has been installed here, and devotees often take a dip in the river at the confluence, and pray to the goddess.

It’s said that a dip at the Sangam absolves one of all sins.

The ride in itself is serene and the river water is cool and clear.

The 30 minute boat ride is nothing short of a river safari, with bird spotting and the thrill of riding through a gorge!

Temples on the Mandatha island of Omkareshwar

Apart from the Shri Omakareshwar Jyotirlinga, there are other small shrines (mandir) that dot the island of Mandhata.

Some of the ancient and famous among the local people are the Ruon Mukteshwar mandir, Gouri Somnath mandir, and Siddhnasth mandir.

The Siddhnath mandir with its medieval architecture and its intricate frieze of carved elephants is quite captivating.

Also, the Mandhata Palace is situated just behind the Omkareshwar temple.

A fleet of around 80 steps takes one to the entrance of the palace, a part of which is open to the public.

Mamleshwar temple of Omkareshwar

Meanwhile , the Mamleshwar temple is located on the mainland, in a beautiful ancient temple complex, surrounded by spotless small shrines dedicated to various gods and goddesses, and adorned with carvings and sculptures.

It is on the mainland, unlike the Shri Omkar Mandhata temple that is located on an island.

My interactions with the local people like flower sellers and prasad (divine offering) vendors revealed the fascinating story of dual jyotirlinga.

They believe that the town of Omkareshwar is blessed with two jyotirlinga — the first being Omkareshwar, and the other being Mamleshwar or Amareshwar.

It is the deity of Amareshwar, who is prayed upon inside the sanctum sanctorum of the Mamleshwar temple.

The Legend of Mamleshwar Jyotirlinga

One lore says that Mamleshwar is the Shiva lingam built by the Pandavas during their exile, in the Mahabharata era.

While another popular Omkareshwar lore proclaims that the existence of Mamleshwar jyotirlinga goes back to Vedic times, when Shiva manifested himself as a jyotirlinga, pleased by the penance of the god of Vindhyas.

Owing to the huge crowd of sages and devotees who came to visit him after a lot of ordeals, Lord Shiva split himself into two, one on either side of the river Narmada.

While one Jyotirlinga on the island of Mandhata came to be known as Omkareshwar, the other on the mainland of Omkareshwar town came to be known as Mamleshwar, respectively.

This is the reason, why the Amareshwar jyotirlinga is also known as a Parthivlinga .

Although there are conflicting stories and claims, both the Omkareshwar and Mamleshwar temples are revered.

Also, it is widely believed that a pilgrimage to the Shri Omkar Mandatha temple isn’t complete without paying obeisance to the Amareshwar of Mamleshwar temple. 

A glimpse of the Omkareshwar Dam

The Omkareshwar Dam was constructed between 2003 and 2007 on the river Narmada near Omkareshwar, to facilitate water supply for irrigation purposes and generate power to the districts of Khandwa, Dhar, and Khargone of Madhya Pradesh.

The Omkareshwar dam structure runs parallel to the two bridges, which have been constructed on the River Narmada here at Omkareshwar already.

One is the old cantilevered bridge of 1973 that connects the island of Mandatha and the mainland of Omkareshwar, while the other bridge, a relatively new suspension bridge, constructed in the year 2003.

By the way, did you know that one of the tallest statues of Shiva and Devi are in Mauritius? Read about them in my Mauritius travel guide.

It is closed for Omakreshwar darshan from 12 pm-1 pm during the day.

Accommodation in Omkareshwar

There are good budget hotels in and around the town of Omkareshwar.

We checked-in for a few hours at the MPT Hotel , situated on the mainland of Omkareshwar. The rooms are well-maintained, and the in-house restaurant’s freshly cooked meals are to die for.

I highly recommend the MPT hotel, as it also has ample parking space.

Enquiries regarding the arrangement of a guided visit to the interiors of the Shri Omkar Mandhata Temple could be directed at the reception of the MPT Temple View Hotel. They would be more than happy to suggest various options and references.

Do cross-check the rates for the guide as well as for any pooja prior to your departure for a darshan of the Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga.

You could also check for accommodation and stay options in Indore or Maheshwar, and visit Omkareshwar on a day trip.

Omkareshwar is in Central India’s Madhya Pradesh state, which witnesses extremely high day temperatures during summers.

Therefore, the best season to visit Omkareshwar would be from July to March, while the temperatures are relatively milder.

My thoughts on the sacred town of Omkareshwar

Omkareshwar and a majority of towns and cities in Madhya Pradesh are sanctified by cleanliness for sure.

The wave of devotees who flood the sacred town of Omkareshwar in reverence has to be seen to believe. It is definitely crowded like any other ancient and sacred Indian town.

However, the Omkareshwar town oozes with rustic vibes and the sense of cleanliness among its people is incredible. The whole pilgrimage circuit reverberates with an unbelievable fervour and faith in Hinduism.

My belief in humanity was definitely revived upon seeing the pristine garbage-free river Narmada at Omkareshwar, and due respect given to this elixir of life.

If there is one place where Mahadev resides, then it has to be in the heart of India at Omkareshwar in Madhya Pradesh!

Very nice post. I am more eager to reach Omkareshwar and Mamleshwar after reading your post.

Thank you so much. I am glad you liked it, and that it has inspired you to visit the spiritually charged Omkareshwar:))

Great.. I am a local travel expert in Omkareshwar and I am really happy reading your article.. well i want to currect you about mamleshwar jyotirlinga

सौराष्ट्रे सोमनाथंच श्री शैले मल्लिकार्जुनम् |

उज्जयिन्यां महाकालमोंकारममलेश्वरम् ||

In this verse, Mamleshwar has been described as Jyotirlinga in Omkareshwar region. for us Mamleshwar is the Jyotirlinga and Omkareshwar is swayambhoo linga .Lord Omkareshwar is greater than every shrine.After seeing Char Dham and 12 Jyotirlingas, it is necessary to have Darshan of Lord Omkareshwar.

Many thanks for stopping by my blog. Yes, I have mentioned about both the jyotirlingas in my write-up, because, according to the same verse that you quoted : It could be interpreted as – omkaram- omkareshwar which has the amleshwar jyotilinga or as mamleshwar. There is still a bit of doubt over how this line needs to be interpreted. Because, amleshwar is also the name of Shiva. Exactly why I said, according to locals:))

I would like to thanks a person who wrote this beautifull blog, the way of presentation is too beautifull. The most important And loved part is the difference between Jyotirlinga and Lingbodhva. Really it deserves lots of appreciation. It explains your efforts that you made while gathering information about Omkareshwar.

May Mahadev bless you

A Spiritual Journey to Omkareshwar, Ujjain

A Spiritual Journey to the Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga

Located on the banks of Narmada River, the Omkareshwar Temple is one of the 12 revered shrines of Lord Shiva. A one and a half hour road trip from Indore along the MP SH-27 took us to the outskirts of Ujjain city, where we would undertake our Spiritual journey to the Omkareshwar Temple.

On a sunny weekend in 2011, my friends group along with my family took this trip to Omkareshwar Temple. Armed with the latest camera gadgetry, and loads of spiritual inspiration, the idea was to explore every unknown corner and excursion of Indore before our six month stay in Indore.

The road trip culminated at the home bank of the Narmada river, where several boats waited at the shore for crossing over to the other side. The crowd was still pouring in to take a glimpse of the Jyotirlinga considered to be the most pious and potent form of Lord Shiva. It is the place where the Lord Shiva manifested himself in the form of light. The trip for us was to take a break from the mundane routine and explore the heritage around.

The Rajendranagar Hostel Team, as the group was proudly referred to, boarded the ferry at the home bank to start for the Jyotirlinga. The medium sized boats could accommodate a group of 10 people easily.

As the boat gently moved across the river, we could see the magnificent foot suspension bridge atop, with the massive Sun Symbol on the entry. This bridge is another option to enter the temple, however, at the cost of enjoying the soothing boat ride.

The water was calm and cool. The gentle breeze healed us from the soaring temperatures and Giri Sir, the man with a young heart, could be seen enjoying the Narmada River waters.

We reached the shore called the Northern bank where the temple is located. It was crowded and would take us a long time to enter and make our way inside with a big group. A small gate at the entrance led us inside the temple premises. It was the second part of the day and we would be attending the prayers conducted by the priest of the Scindia State during this hour. The morning prayers are conducted by the temple trust, whereas the evening prayers by the priest of the Holkar State.

As we entered inside we realized it was a long wait, as the pilgrims seemed to fill in every available space inside the temple, leaving no room for movement. The ladies had to finally wait at the stairs until, the crowd dispersed a little.

As our turn came to enter inside, we started moving upstairs, only to realize that the crowd behind was never-ending. The crowd just wanted one glimpse of the Jyotirlinga, no matter what stood in front of them. The push and pull in the crowd prevailed, and the feeling was similar to Mumbai Local where one does not need to worry about reaching inside the compartment. The crowd from behind takes care of it. Peeping from the crowd with a smile is Divya who made her way through the top despite all obstacles.

Ashish Sir and I were lousy and had decided to enter inside at the end as the crowd settled. Ashish Sir was equipped with all his travel paraphernalia in his backpack and could be seen inching inside the temple carefully.

Gurpreet Sir and Sonia (especially Gurpreet Sir, there is rarely anything on this planet Earth that can keep this guy from smiling, and if one exists by some chance, he will still find a way to chill out), the coolest people in our group seemed little perturbed with the crowd, and despite all the push and pull around to make the first entry inside the temple, they were ever smiling and enjoying the moment.

My wife Tanima and I had prayers to offer, for our daughter Sharbani who had barely started to talk then (she talks more than anyone else now, allowing anyone else to speak).My mom had also accompanied along. An avid traveler as she is, I derive all my inspiration to travel from her, (and nothing would stop her from taking this trip I know).

We came out after visiting the temple We came to the South Bank of Narmada river to witness the Mamleshwar Temple. Recorded in the Archaeological Survey of India as one of the oldest monuments, this temple was built during the reign of the Holkars and the queen Ahilyabai Holkar used to offer prayers here. The temple has been constructed with red stone and is an epitome of Vedic Architecture.

It was time to take a short rest and unwind before we moved back home.We decided to take a bite in a hotel nearby. The day had been fabulous and a new experience altogether. It was time to move back to Rajendra Nagar Hostel, and immerse in our routine once again, but not without planning for the next weekend trip soon.

• No Comments on The Best Places to Visit Near Indore (Omkareshwar, Ujjain & Mandu)

After having a full eating dose in Indore , I was all geared up for a three days trip to three different places around Indore. It consisted of Omkareshwar, Ujjain and Mandu.

Omkareshwar

77.6 km south of Indore exists a place of utmost religious spirit, Omkareshwar. It is one of the 12 Jyotirlinga (devotional representation) shrines of Lord Shiva in India and is situated on an island named Mandhata or Shivapuri in the Narmada river. A place full of sadhu babas, an amazing sunrise scene, rhythmic water waves, and Sangam.

Best travel connectivity from Indore

Frequent buses from Sarwate Bus Stand, Indore. You can also book a local taxi. Travelling by road is another add-on to the journey as the route consists of ghats on the way. It’s a 3-hour journey.

Food & Stay

Although the place can be fully experienced in a day. If you wish to stay, then Narmada Resort is a good option. The restaurant offers good quality food too.

Prominent Places

Standing on the bridge, you can experience a blissful sunrise over the dam. There are two main temples of Lord Shiva.

55.4 km north of Indore exists another place with full of divine power, Ujjain. A city that hosts Simhastha, one of the biggest Hindu pilgrimages along the Kshipra River. You can visit infamous Mahakaleshwar Temple, another jyotirlinga out of 12.

There are frequent buses from Indore. Taxis are good. You can also opt for the train.

If you are a religious person, and you are in India to see innumerable temples, then you got to spend some time in Ujjain, as it takes a while to get a grasp on each and every temple. You can find some good hotels, and food similar to Indore’s food around the railway station.

Nearly 100 km south of Indore, exists a wonderful place with beautiful places, and Mughal architecture. It’s an ancient town with humongous heritage.

Book a private taxi, as the places are located pretty far.

Malwa Retreat, the hotel by MP tourism is finest.

Exploring the Mystical Charms of Ujjain: A Journey Through Time

Welcome to the mystical city of Ujjain, a timeless gem nestled on the banks of the Shipra River in the heart of Madhya Pradesh, India. Steeped in history, spirituality, and cultural heritage, Ujjain is a captivating destination that beckons travellers from all corners of the globe. Let’s explore the virtual journey to discover the famous places that make Ujjain a must-visit destination.

Mahakaleshwar Temple:

Our journey begins with a visit to the revered Mahakaleshwar Temple, one of the 12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva. Situated in the heart of Ujjain, this ancient temple is a symbol of devotion and faith. Its towering spire and intricate architecture draw pilgrims and tourists alike, seeking blessings and spiritual solace. The temple’s main attraction is the sacred lingam, which is believed to be swayambhu (self-manifested) and holds immense significance in Hindu mythology.

These temples can be visited throughout the year. However, to avoid extreme temperatures and heavy rainfall, the best time to visit is during winter, from October to March. The weather during this time is pleasant and conducive to temple visits and sightseeing.

Kal Bhairav Temple:

Next on our itinerary is the Kal Bhairav Temple, dedicated to the fearsome manifestation of Lord Shiva, Bhairava. This temple is unique for its worship rituals, where devotees offer alcohol to the deity as a form of reverence. The vibrant atmosphere and fervent prayers add to the mystique of this ancient shrine, making it a must-visit for spiritual seekers and curious travellers alike.

Kumbh Mela:

No discussion about Ujjain is complete without mentioning the Kumbh Mela, one of the largest religious gatherings in the world. Held every 12 years, this mega-event attracts millions of pilgrims who come to bathe in the sacred waters of the Shipra River, seeking spiritual purification and blessings. The Kumbh Mela is a spectacle of faith, devotion, and cultural heritage, offering a once-in-a-lifetime experience for those fortunate enough to witness it.

As we meander through the labyrinthine lanes of Ujjain, we arrive at Ram Ghat, a picturesque bathing ghat on the banks of the Shipra River. This serene spot is imbued with tranquillity and spirituality, offering a perfect setting for meditation and introspection. Visitors can witness the mesmerizing evening aarti (ritual) performed by priests, which casts a spell of enchantment on all who behold it.

Ram Ghat is a serene spot on the banks of the Shipra River and can be visited throughout the year. However, the evenings, especially during the cooler months, offer a more enchanting experience. Witnessing the evening aarti (ritual) by the river can be particularly magical during this time.

Sandipani Ashram:

For those interested in delving deeper into the spiritual fabric of Ujjain, a visit to the Sandipani Ashram is a must. This sacred abode is believed to be where Lord Krishna received his education from Guru Sandipani. The ashram exudes an aura of serenity and wisdom, attracting seekers and scholars from far and wide.

The Sandipani Ashram can be visited year-round. However, to avoid the summer heat, it’s best to visit during the winter when the weather is more pleasant for exploration and meditation.

Vikram Kirti Mandir:

Our journey through Ujjain wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the Vikram Kirti Mandir, a museum dedicated to the rich history and heritage of the region. Here, visitors can explore a treasure trove of artefacts, sculptures, and manuscripts that chronicle the glorious past of Ujjain, from its days as an ancient seat of learning to its modern-day significance as a pilgrimage centre. This museum can be visited throughout the year. The winter months are ideal if you prefer to explore museums in comfortable weather. However, if you don’t mind the heat, you can also visit during summer.

Chintaman Ganesh Temple:

Last but not least, we pay homage to Lord Ganesha at the Chintaman Ganesh Temple, a sacred shrine nestled amidst lush greenery on the outskirts of Ujjain. Dedicated to removing obstacles, this temple is thronged by devotees who seek Lord Ganesha’s blessings for success and prosperity.

As we conclude our virtual tour of Ujjain, we realize that words alone cannot capture the essence of this enchanting city. Ujjain beckons travellers with its timeless charm and spiritual allure, from its ancient temples to its vibrant festivals. Whether you seek solace in prayer, enlightenment in wisdom, or simply a glimpse into India’s rich cultural tapestry, Ujjain has something to offer for everyone. So pack your bags, embark on a journey of discovery, and let the magic of Ujjain unfold before your eyes with redBus.
