Jyotirlingas represent the most sacred abodes of Lord Shiva scattered across India. Visiting these 7 Jyotirlinga shrines during Shravan, a month particularly dedicated to Lord Shiva, is believed to bring immense spiritual merit and blessings. IRCTC Tourism’s meticulously planned itinerary ensures a hassle-free and enriching experience.
Your journey begins in Rajkot, Gujarat, and then unfolds across various breathtaking locations. Here’s a glimpse of the sacred sites you’ll encounter:
- Mahakaleshwar, in Madhya Pradesh, reigns as one of the 12 Jyotirlingas, revered as the “Great Destroyer of Time.”
- Omkareshwar, an island town shaped like the holy “Om” symbol, nestles on the banks of the Narmada River in Madhya Pradesh. Here, devotees can pay their respects at both Omkareshwar and Mamaleshwar Jyotirlingas.
