The quiet town of Omkareshwar in Madhya Pradesh is a spiritual hub, especially for Shiva devotees across the country. A beautiful riverside pilgrim destination in Madhya Pradesh, ‘Omkareshwar’ means ‘Lord of Omkara’ – one of the Dwadasa Jyotirlinga shrines or the 12 shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva in the form of a Jyotirlinga. Millions of pilgrims visit this small town for the sacred Jyotirlinga at the Omkareshwar temple. Besides its popularity as a pilgrimage center for Hindus, the town is also known for a hanging bridge over the Narmada river called ‘Jhula Phul’ – a splendid sight that serves as a pathway to the Mandhata Temple.

Omkareshwar has plenty of beautiful sights that will soothe the soul of both Shiva devotees and curious travelers. There is an unmistakable serenity in its landscape and a rich cultural heritage that will speak to travelers of all kinds. Here is a guide on how to make the best of your visit to Omkareshwar.

Omkareshwar Temple

The star of all tourist attractions in the town is undoubtedly the Omkareshwar Temple. It is considered to be one of the holiest shrines in India. One of the revered 12 Jyotirlingas in the country, this beautiful structure stands atop an island called Mandhata in Madhya Pradesh. Surrounding it is the confluence of the mighty Kaveri and Narmada rivers. Further adding to the mystique of the area is the island’s shape, which resembles the sacred Hindu symbol of ‘Om’.

Pilgrims in inconceivable numbers visit the shrine each year to seek the blessings of Lord Shiva. It is a shrine not only for the faithful but for history and archaeology buffs as well. Scattered around the vicinity are around 20 shrines devoted to deities such as Ganesh, Narmada, Shani, and Krishna.

Some Interesting Trivia on Omkareshwar

According to mythology, Omkareshwar is where Lord Shiva chose to rest and sleep each night – also referred to as ‘Shayan.’ The ‘Shayan Arti’ is, therefore, a practice observed religiously at the temple. The temple is considered so sacred that a single visit to Omkareshwar is synonymous with a pilgrimage to the famed Kedarnath and worshipping the Panch Kedars.
Archaeological findings estimate that the Omkareshwar temple’s Jyotirlinga was initially located in a small ancient temple, around which the existing holy shrine was built.
The temple survived the onslaught of Mughal invasions in the 11th century. Omkareshwar Temple stood its ground and later rose like a phoenix to become one of the holiest pilgrimage destinations in the country.
Around the Omkareshwar Temple

One can cross the ‘Jhula Phul’ to enter the Omkareshwar Temple or take a soothing boat ride across the Narmada towards one of the temple gates. The ideal combination is a boat ride one way and a walk on the way back. A flight of steps from the ghats will lead to the temple. Several flower stalls will greet you before reaching the base of the temple. With intricate carvings in the Nagara style of architecture and artistically-crafted balconies and column carvings, the temple is a lovely sight to behold. Walks around the temple turn out to be beautiful revelations at each of its corners.

The temple comprises a Sabha Mandap (meeting or prayer hall), which stands on 60 towering brownstone pillars that are 14 ft high. These pillars contain elaborate carvings of frieze, as well as a group of figures resembling Satyrs with broad shoulders and meditating foreheads.
