Travel with us around each of the Shrines virtually, so that you can plan out your journey well in advance. Millions of travellers from around the world visit these holy temples yearly and seek blessings from Lord Shiva. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/chikucab.com\/blogs\/category\/jyotirlinga-in-india\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>12 Jyotirlinga in India<\/strong><\/a> are spread across eight states, and a pilgrimage to Lord Shiva feels incomplete until you\u2019ve stood before all twelve. Devotees from across the world visit these holy temples every year, some for a single darshan and others for the full Dwadash Jyotirlinga Yatra. We\u2019ve put every 12 Jyotirlinga name, place and state on one page, along with timings, routes, days and costs, so you can plan the trip well before you pack your bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: space-between; gap: 15px; background: linear-gradient(90deg, #b31217, #e52d27); padding: 15px; border-radius: 12px; flex-wrap: wrap;\">\n\n  <!-- Left Section -->\n  <div style=\"display: flex; align-items: center; gap: 12px; flex: 1;\">\n    \n    <!-- Icon -->\n    <div style=\"background: #fff; padding: 10px; border-radius: 10px;\">\n      <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-icons-png.flaticon.com\/512\/854\/854878.png\" width=\"35\" alt=\"map icon\">\n    <\/div>\n\n    <!-- Text -->\n    <div>\n      <p style=\"margin: 0; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #fff;\">\n        Planning 12 Jyotirlinga Temple Darshan?\n      <\/p>\n      <p style=\"margin: 5px 0 0; font-size: 14px; color: #fff;\">\n        Compare sedan, SUV and group-travel options for your pilgrimage.

A Jyotirlinga is Shiva appearing as a column of light. Together, the 12 Jyotirlinga of Lord Shiva mark twelve places where he\u2019s believed to have done so. Temples across India hold countless Shivlings, but only these twelve carry the Jyotirlinga title. Pilgrims treat the visit as a vow, and the tradition says it clears the sins of many lifetimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_Jyotirlinga_Names_in_Hindi_with_State_and_Temple_Location\"><\/span>12 Jyotirlinga Names in Hindi with State and Temple Location<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><td><strong>English name<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Hindi name, place and state<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Somnath<\/td><td>\u0938\u094b\u092e\u0928\u093e\u0925 (\u0938\u094c\u0930\u093e\u0937\u094d\u091f\u094d\u0930, \u0917\u0941\u091c\u0930\u093e\u0924)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Mallikarjuna<\/td><td>\u092e\u0932\u094d\u0932\u093f\u0915\u093e\u0930\u094d\u091c\u0941\u0928 (\u0936\u094d\u0930\u0940\u0936\u0948\u0932\u092e, \u0906\u0902\u0927\u094d\u0930 \u092a\u094d\u0930\u0926\u0947\u0936)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Mahakaleshwar<\/td><td>\u092e\u0939\u093e\u0915\u093e\u0932\u0947\u0936\u094d\u0935\u0930 (\u0909\u091c\u094d\u091c\u0948\u0928, \u092e\u0927\u094d\u092f \u092a\u094d\u0930\u0926\u0947\u0936)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Omkareshwar<\/td><td>\u0913\u0902\u0915\u093e\u0930\u0947\u0936\u094d\u0935\u0930 (\u0916\u0902\u0921\u0935\u093e, \u092e\u0927\u094d\u092f \u092a\u094d\u0930\u0926\u0947\u0936)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Kedarnath<\/td><td>\u0915\u0947\u0926\u093e\u0930\u0928\u093e\u0925 (\u0930\u0941\u0926\u094d\u0930\u092a\u094d\u0930\u092f\u093e\u0917, \u0909\u0924\u094d\u0924\u0930\u093e\u0916\u0902\u0921)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Bhimashankar<\/td><td>\u092d\u0940\u092e\u093e\u0936\u0902\u0915\u0930 (\u092a\u0941\u0923\u0947, \u092e\u0939\u093e\u0930\u093e\u0937\u094d\u091f\u094d\u0930)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Kashi Vishwanath<\/td><td>\u0915\u093e\u0936\u0940 \u0935\u093f\u0936\u094d\u0935\u0928\u093e\u0925 (\u0935\u093e\u0930\u093e\u0923\u0938\u0940, \u0909\u0924\u094d\u0924\u0930 \u092a\u094d\u0930\u0926\u0947\u0936)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Trimbakeshwar<\/td><td>\u0924\u094d\u0930\u094d\u092f\u0902\u092c\u0915\u0947\u0936\u094d\u0935\u0930 (\u0928\u093e\u0938\u093f\u0915, \u092e\u0939\u093e\u0930\u093e\u0937\u094d\u091f\u094d\u0930)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Baidyanath<\/td><td>\u0935\u0948\u0926\u094d\u092f\u0928\u093e\u0925 (\u0926\u0947\u0935\u0918\u0930, \u091d\u093e\u0930\u0916\u0902\u0921)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Nageshwar<\/td><td>\u0928\u093e\u0917\u0947\u0936\u094d\u0935\u0930 (\u0926\u094d\u0935\u093e\u0930\u0915\u093e, \u0917\u0941\u091c\u0930\u093e\u0924)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Rameshwaram<\/td><td>\u0930\u093e\u092e\u0947\u0936\u094d\u0935\u0930 (\u0930\u093e\u092e\u0947\u0936\u094d\u0935\u0930\u092e, \u0924\u092e\u093f\u0932\u0928\u093e\u0921\u0941)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Grishneshwar<\/td><td>\u0918\u0943\u0937\u094d\u0923\u0947\u0936\u094d\u0935\u0930 (\u090f\u0932\u094b\u0930\u093e, \u092e\u0939\u093e\u0930\u093e\u0937\u094d\u091f\u094d\u0930)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"chiku-booking-box\">\n\n  <div class=\"chiku-booking-title\">\n    <span class=\"chiku-phone-icon\">\u260e<\/span>\n    Book Your Reliable Cab\/Tempo Traveller for 12 Jyotirlinga Darshan Now\n  <\/div>\n\n  <div class=\"chiku-booking-subtitle\">\n    Get The Best Rates Cab For Your 12 Jyotirlinga Temple.

Hence, the traditions of practising spirituality with a stone\/wood carved or clay moulded idol have been going on for centuries in the Indian subcontinent. In addition, this also helps in focusing and transcending their consciousness on a fixed representation of Lord Shiva in a shaped, yet shapeless idol. Moreover, the temples are considered a focal point of energy centres that foster meditation and spiritual growth. Hence, people worship a Shivalinga as it depicts the formless and limitless nature of Lord Shiva.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_12_Jyotirlingas_and_Their_Importance_in_India\"><\/span>The 12 Jyotirlingas and Their Importance in India<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are many legends behind the occurrences and establishment of these Jyotirlingas, which may vary from folklore to the official citations in the Vedic and Puranic inscriptions.

Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh follow with two each, while Andhra Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Jharkhand have only one shrines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><td><strong>State<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Number<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Jyotirlingas<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Maharashtra<\/td><td>3<\/td><td>Bhimashankar, Trimbakeshwar, Grishneshwar<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Gujarat<\/td><td>2<\/td><td>Somnath, Nageshwar<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Madhya Pradesh<\/td><td>2<\/td><td>Mahakaleshwar, Omkareshwar<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Andhra Pradesh<\/td><td>1<\/td><td>Mallikarjuna<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Uttarakhand<\/td><td>1<\/td><td>Kedarnath<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Uttar Pradesh<\/td><td>1<\/td><td>Kashi Vishwanath<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Tamil Nadu<\/td><td>1<\/td><td>Rameshwaram<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Jharkhand<\/td><td>1<\/td><td>Baidyanath<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_Jyotirlinga_Yatra_Complete_Route_Map_and_Travel_Plan\"><\/span>12 Jyotirlinga Yatra: Complete Route Map and Travel Plan<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The twelve temples don\u2019t form a neat loop. Somnath faces the western coast, Kedarnath stands in the Himalayas, and Rameshwaram marks the southern tip, so a careless order burns days on the road. The route sections one pilgrimage operator lists add up to more than 12,000 km even before Kedarnath. Planning by region removes most of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><td><strong>Region<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Temples<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Base cities<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Time to plan<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Gujarat coast<\/td><td>Somnath, Nageshwar<\/td><td>Veraval, Dwarka<\/td><td>3 to 4 days<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Maharashtra<\/td><td>Trimbakeshwar, Bhimashankar, Grishneshwar<\/td><td>Nashik, Pune, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar<\/td><td>About 3 days<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Madhya Pradesh<\/td><td>Mahakaleshwar, Omkareshwar<\/td><td>Ujjain, Indore<\/td><td>2 to 3 days<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>South<\/td><td>Mallikarjuna, Rameshwaram<\/td><td>Hyderabad, Madurai<\/td><td>About 2 days each, plus travel between<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>East<\/td><td>Kashi Vishwanath, Baidyanath<\/td><td>Varanasi, Deoghar<\/td><td>3 to 4 days<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Himalaya<\/td><td>Kedarnath<\/td><td>Haridwar, Rishikesh<\/td><td>About 5 days with a weather buffer<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Somnath to Dwarka is about 240 km and takes four to four and a half hours. Nageshwar lies on the road between Dwarka and Bet Dwarka, roughly 17 km from the Dwarkadhish temple, so most pilgrims cover it in one morning. Our Gujarat drivers plan the sea facing evening at Somnath around the light show, which starts after dusk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Maharashtra, Trimbak is about 30 km from Nashik, Bhimashankar is roughly 110 km from Pune, and Grishneshwar stands beside the Ellora caves, about 30 km from Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, the city many people still call Aurangabad. The ghat roads to Bhimashankar slow down in monsoon fog, and our Pune drivers leave early to beat it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ujjain and Omkareshwar suit one trip. Pilgrims for the Bhasma Aarti in Ujjain should be at temple around 1:00 to 2:00 AM. Omkareshwar is the next stop, on an island in the Narmada shaped like the Om symbol. Our list of <a href=\"https:\/\/chikucab.com\/blogs\/places-to-visit-in-ujjain\/\">places to visit in Ujjain<\/a> helps you fill the hours between aartis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Varanasi works differently. Cars can\u2019t enter the lanes around Vishwanath Gali, so our drivers drop you at the edge of the old city and you finish on foot. Dashashwamedh Ghat is about 500 metres from the temple, which makes the evening Ganga aarti an easy add on. Deoghar is the other eastern shrine, where Kanwar pilgrims carry Ganga water on foot from Sultanganj during Shravan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kedarnath needs the most care. The motor road ends at Gaurikund, and the trek to the temple is 16 km. Ponies and palanquins carry those who can\u2019t walk it. Heavy rain paused the yatra briefly in June 2026 before it resumed, so tell your driver your dates early and keep one day spare. Our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/chikucab.com\/blogs\/kedarnath-kapat-opening-and-closing-date\/\">Kedarnath kapat opening and closing dates<\/a> lists the season window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Srisailam is about 200 km from Hyderabad and the road crosses the Nallamala forest, so daylight driving is the norm. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/chikucab.com\/blogs\/srisailam-to-hyderabad\/\">Srisailam to Hyderabad road trip guide<\/a> covers the drive in detail. Rameshwaram lies on Pamban Island, and pilgrims bathe at Agni Theertham and in the 22 wells inside the temple before darshan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_the_Best_Order_to_Visit_All_12_Jyotirlingas\"><\/span>What Is the Best Order to Visit All 12 Jyotirlingas?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No rule forces a single sequence, and most pilgrims simply go by geography. The temples themselves don\u2019t ask for a fixed order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The traditional sequence of 12 Jyotirlinga follows the Dwadash Jyotirlinga Stotram. Somnath is the first Jyotirlinga in India, and it\u2019s often called the first on earth, which is why many pilgrims begin on the Gujarat coast. Mallikarjuna is the second Jyotirlinga, and Mahakaleshwar is the third. Grishneshwar is the last Jyotirlinga, the twelfth. Yatra planners often label Somnath the 1st Jyotirlinga and Mallikarjuna the 2nd Jyotirlinga. A few pilgrims follow that sequence step by step, but it\u2019s hard on the body. Somnath to Srisailam alone covers about 1,800 km. A regional order saves roughly 15 days according to pilgrimage planners, because it keeps neighbouring temples together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><td><strong>If you start from<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Begin with<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Then continue to<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Delhi NCR, Haryana, Punjab<\/td><td>Kedarnath in season, or Kashi Vishwanath<\/td><td>Baidyanath, then Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra and the south<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Mumbai or Pune<\/td><td>The Maharashtra trio<\/td><td>Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, then the rest<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Ahmedabad or Rajkot<\/td><td>Somnath and Nageshwar<\/td><td>Madhya Pradesh, then Maharashtra<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Indore or Bhopal<\/td><td>Ujjain and Omkareshwar<\/td><td>Maharashtra or Gujarat<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Hyderabad<\/td><td>Srisailam<\/td><td>The Maharashtra trio, then Madhya Pradesh<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Chennai or Madurai<\/td><td>Rameshwaram<\/td><td>Srisailam, then Maharashtra<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Varanasi, Lucknow or Patna<\/td><td>Kashi Vishwanath and Baidyanath<\/td><td>Ujjain, then the west and south<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mondays, Mahashivratri and the month of Shravan are the most sacred days for Shiva, and they\u2019re also the most crowded. October to March gives the easiest weather across most of India, while Kedarnath follows its own season from late April to early November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Many_Days_Are_Required_for_12_Jyotirlinga_Darshan\"><\/span>How Many Days Are Required for 12 Jyotirlinga Darshan?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Different tour planners will give you different estimates, so it usually comes down to how you prefer to travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><td><strong>Plan<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Days<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Suits<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Train and flight mix with short stays<\/td><td>20 to 25 days<\/td><td>Working pilgrims with a fixed leave window<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Regional order by road<\/td><td>About 25 days<\/td><td>Families who want time at each temple<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Traditional order by road or rail<\/td><td>35 to 40 days or more<\/td><td>Pilgrims who follow the stotram sequence<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Relaxed yatra with rest days<\/td><td>30 days and up<\/td><td>Senior pilgrims and large family groups<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep at least one spare day around Kedarnath, because weather decides that part of the trip. Add a rest day after any night drive, especially before the Ujjain Bhasma Aarti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don\u2019t have to finish all twelve in one go. A 4 Jyotirlinga trip takes roughly a week when you pair neighbours, such as the Maharashtra trio with Omkareshwar. Many families complete the yatra in two or three seasons, one region at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_Jyotirlinga_Yatra_Cost_Budget_Hotels_Transport_and_Food\"><\/span>12 Jyotirlinga Yatra Cost: Budget, Hotels, Transport and Food<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><td><strong>Travel style<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Rough cost per person<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>What it usually covers<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Train and dharamshala<\/td><td>\u20b930,000 to \u20b955,000<\/td><td>Sleeper or 3AC rail, basic stays, shared local transport<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Standard<\/td><td>\u20b955,000 to \u20b995,000<\/td><td>3AC rail or mixed travel, hotels, private local cabs<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Flights and hotels<\/td><td>\u20b995,000 and above, up to \u20b91.6 lakh or more<\/td><td>Flights, better hotels, private vehicle throughout<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Indian Railways also operates tourist train packages for seven Jyotirlingas, namely Mahakaleshwar, Omkareshwar, Nageshwar, Somnath, Bhimashankar, Trimbakeshwar and Grishneshwar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Temple fees are small. A Mangala Aarti ticket at Kashi Vishwanath costs about \u20b9500, Sheeghra Darshan at Mahakaleshwar costs \u20b9250, and the Somnath light show ticket costs \u20b925 to \u20b950. Bhasma Aarti passes at Ujjain are booked only through the temple\u2019s official portal, and they sell out fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hotels and food change with the season more than the city. Temple run dharamshalas are the cheapest beds, but they fill on Mondays and through Shravan. Hotels near Kashi, Ujjain and Rameshwaram raise rates around Mahashivratri. Vegetarian meals at local bhojanalayas keep daily food costs low everywhere on the route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the road, your cost comes down to distance, vehicle size and days. A sedan suits two to four pilgrims, an SUV carries a larger family, and a tempo traveller handles groups. You can check the fare for any of them on our app, or call 844-844-5504, before you confirm. Discounted tour packages also appear on the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_Jyotirlingas_Stories_Religious_Significance_and_History\"><\/span>12 Jyotirlingas: Stories, Religious Significance and History<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_the_Jyotirlingas_came_to_be\"><\/span>How the Jyotirlingas came to be<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to The Shiva Purana, once there was a dispute between Brahma and Vishnu over who was greater. Shiva ended it by appearing as an endless column of fire. Vishnu took the form of a boar and dug downward, Brahma became a swan and flew upward, and neither found an end. Brahma lied about reaching the top, and Shiva cursed him. Tradition counts twelve of the most sacred places where that column of light is believed to have touched the earth. That\u2019s the usual account of how 12 Jyotirlinga formed. The 12 Jyotirlinga history as a group is medieval, since scholars trace the grouping of exactly twelve to Shaiva texts between the 9th and 13th centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Jyotirlinga_and_Shivling_are_not_the_same\"><\/span>Jyotirlinga and Shivling are not the same<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every Jyotirlinga is a Shivling, but not every Shivling is a Jyotirlinga. Homes, village shrines and roadside temples hold Shivlings by the thousand, so nobody can count how many lingas India has. A Shivling is installed by devotees, while a Jyotirlinga is believed to have appeared on its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_twelve_stories\"><\/span>The twelve stories<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Somnath.<\/strong> The moon god Chandra was cursed to fade because he favoured one of his 27 wives, and he prayed to Shiva here to be cured. Mahmud of Ghazni destroyed the temple in 1026, and it was rebuilt many times. The present temple was completed in 1951 in Chalukya style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mallikarjuna.<\/strong> Shiva and Parvati came to Srisailam to meet their son Kartikeya, who had left home in anger. The shrine also holds a Shakti Peetha, so one visit covers two sacred sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mahakaleshwar.<\/strong> Shiva appeared here as Mahakal to protect his devotees from the demon Dushan. This is the only south facing Jyotirlinga, and Shiva is worshipped as the lord of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Omkareshwar.<\/strong> The Vindhya mountain prayed to Shiva here for years, and Shiva appeared as two lingas, Omkareshwar and Mamleshwar. King Mandhata is also said to have prayed on this island, which carries his name and resembles the sacred Om in shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Kedarnath.<\/strong> The Pandavas sought Shiva after the Mahabharata war, and he hid as a bull. Bhima caught the hump, which is worshipped here, and the temple stands at 3,583 metres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bhimashankar.<\/strong> Shiva destroyed the demon Tripurasur here, and the sweat from his body is said to have formed the Bhima river. The shrine lies in the forested Sahyadri hills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Kashi Vishwanath.<\/strong> Varanasi is called the city that Shiva never leaves. Present day Kashi Vishwanath was rebuilt in 1780 by Ahilyabai Holkar, and the redeveloped complex now links the temple to the Ganga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Trimbakeshwar.<\/strong> The Godavari rises on the nearby Brahmagiri hill, and the lingam here has three faces for Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. Sage Gautama\u2019s prayers are said to have brought the river down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Baidyanath.<\/strong> The demon king Ravana offered his ten heads to Shiva and received a linga to carry to Lanka, on one condition. It could never touch the ground. The devas tricked him into setting it down here, and it stayed. Shiva is also said to have healed Ravana as a divine physician, which gave the shrine the name Vaidyanath. Some retellings call the linga Ravana carried an Atma Linga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Nageshwar.<\/strong> Shiva appeared to save his devotee Supriya from the demons Daruka and Daruki. Pilgrims turn to this Jyotirlinga for protection from poison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Rameshwaram.<\/strong> Lord Rama is said to have worshipped Shiva here to seek forgiveness after the war with Ravana. The temple is also one of the four Char Dhams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Grishneshwar.<\/strong> The devout woman Ghushma prayed to Shiva daily and dipped 101 lingas in the pond each day, and Shiva restored her son to life. The temple is said to be the smallest of the twelve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/chikucab.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/chikucab-app-1024x225.webp\" alt=\"Chiku Cab App\" class=\"wp-image-7727\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chikucab.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/chikucab-app-1024x225.webp 1024w, https:\/\/chikucab.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/chikucab-app-300x66.webp 300w, https:\/\/chikucab.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/chikucab-app-768x169.webp 768w, https:\/\/chikucab.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/chikucab-app.webp 1366w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.techi.chikucab\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chiku Cab App<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Importance_of_the_12_Jyotirlingas\"><\/span>Importance of the 12 Jyotirlingas<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The importance of 12 Jyotirlinga rests on one belief. Devotees say a visit brings moksha, freedom from the cycle of birth and death, and the significance of 12 Jyotirlinga worship is the same at every temple. The Shiva Purana records twelve sites, and the stotram promises that remembering their names clears the sins of seven births. People often ask which is the biggest Jyotirlinga in India. Nobody measures them that way. Kedarnath is the highest, Mahakaleshwar is the only one facing south, and Kashi is the city Shiva is said to protect himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_Jyotirlinga_Yatra_Checklist_Documents_Clothes_and_Essentials\"><\/span>12 Jyotirlinga Yatra Checklist: Documents, Clothes and Essentials<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Documents_to_keep_ready\"><\/span>Documents to keep ready<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Carry a government photo ID for every traveller, since temples and booking portals ask for it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Register for Kedarnath before you leave, because the yatra is limited by daily visitor numbers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Print or save your Bhasma Aarti pass and your Mangala Aarti ticket, which Kashi Vishwanath opens for booking 30 days ahead.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep train tickets, hotel vouchers and cab details in one folder.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Clothes_and_dress_codes\"><\/span>Clothes and dress codes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>At Mahakaleshwar\u2019s Bhasma Aarti, men wear a dhoti inside the sanctum and women wear a saree.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pack modest, full length clothing for every temple.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For Kedarnath, bring thermals, rain jackets, warm caps and trekking shoes, as the cold hits hard after sunset.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Somnath enforces tight security, so leave large bags in the hotel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Essentials_for_the_road\"><\/span>Essentials for the road<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fill a small kit with medicines, glucose, a power bank and water bottles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Carry some cash alongside UPI, as small shops near temples may not accept digital payments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Expect mobiles and cameras to be restricted inside several sanctums, and Kedarnath has banned mobile use and reels in the temple area in 2026.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Start early everywhere.

They are Somnath, Mallikarjuna, Mahakaleshwar, Omkareshwar, Kedarnath, Bhimashankar, Kashi Vishwanath, Trimbakeshwar, Baidyanath, Nageshwar, Rameshwaram and Grishneshwar. Eight Indian states hold them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Which are the 12 Jyotirlinga temples in India with their locations?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Somnath stands near Veraval in Gujarat, Mallikarjuna in Srisailam in Andhra Pradesh, and Kedarnath in Uttarakhand. Madhya Pradesh holds two, Mahakaleshwar at Ujjain and Omkareshwar on Mandhata Island. Kashi Vishwanath is in Varanasi, Baidyanath in Deoghar, Nageshwar near Dwarka and Rameshwaram on Pamban Island in Tamil Nadu. Maharashtra holds the last three, Bhimashankar near Pune, Trimbakeshwar near Nashik and Grishneshwar beside Ellora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Which is the first Jyotirlinga in India?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Somnath in Gujarat comes first in the stotram\u2019s traditional order. Many pilgrims also call it the first on earth, so they begin the yatra on the Veraval coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Which is the most powerful Jyotirlinga in India?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tradition doesn\u2019t rank one Jyotirlinga above the others, and all twelve carry equal merit. Some devotees feel drawn to a particular shrine, such as Kashi for moksha, Mahakal for its Bhasma Aarti or Kedarnath for the Himalayan trek, but that\u2019s personal devotion rather than a ranking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Which Jyotirlinga is located in Varanasi?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kashi Vishwanath is the Jyotirlinga in Varanasi, and it\u2019s the only one in Uttar Pradesh. Vehicles can\u2019t enter the narrow lanes around the temple, so you walk the final part of the way. Dashashwamedh Ghat lies close by for the evening Ganga aarti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Which Jyotirlinga is famous for Bhasma Aarti?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mahakaleshwar in Ujjain is the Jyotirlinga known for Bhasma Aarti. The ritual takes place before dawn, usually between 4:00 and 6:00 AM, and you need a pass booked in advance on the temple\u2019s official portal. Devotees reach the temple between 1:00 and 2:00 AM, so plan the night around it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Which Jyotirlinga is situated in the Himalayas?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kedarnath in Uttarakhand is the Himalayan Jyotirlinga, standing at 3,583 metres. Vehicles go only as far as Gaurikund, where a 16 km trek begins, and the temple opens only between late April and early November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Which Jyotirlingas are located in Maharashtra?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are three. Bhimashankar lies in the Sahyadri hills near Pune, Trimbakeshwar stands close to where the Godavari rises near Nashik, and Grishneshwar lies beside the Ellora caves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Which Jyotirlingas are located in Gujarat?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gujarat has two, Somnath near Veraval and Nageshwar close to Dwarka. They\u2019re about 240 km apart, which is a drive of four hours or a little more, so most pilgrims cover both on one coastal trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What is the difference between a Jyotirlinga and a regular Shiva Lingam?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Shivling is a symbol of Shiva that devotees install in homes, village shrines and large temples. A Jyotirlinga is said to have appeared by itself as his column of light, and only twelve sites carry that title. Every Jyotirlinga is worshipped as a Shivling, but nobody can count the Shivlings in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What is the best time to visit the 12 Jyotirlingas in India?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most of the route is easiest in the cooler months, October through March. Kedarnath follows its own season, late April to early November, and monsoon fog makes the Bhimashankar ghat roads slower. Mondays, Mahashivratri and Shravan bring the heaviest crowds, so book early if you travel then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How many days are required to visit all 12 Jyotirlingas?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most traveller planners say the full yatra needs three to four weeks. A regional plan by road takes about 25 days, while following the stotram order step by step takes 35 to 40 days or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Can I visit all 12 Jyotirlingas in one trip?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, many pilgrims finish all twelve in about a month, provided they group temples by region and reach Kedarnath while it\u2019s open. Others spread the yatra over two or three seasons, which gives more rest between regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What is the correct order to visit the 12 Jyotirlingas?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The stotram lists Somnath first and Grishneshwar last, but no rule forces that sequence. Most pilgrims travel region by region and start with the shrine nearest their home city, which one planner says saves roughly 15 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Which Jyotirlinga is near the Ellora Caves?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Jyotirlinga beside the Ellora caves is Grishneshwar, in Verul village, only about 2 km from the caves. You\u2019ll reach it after a 30 km drive out of Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Which Jyotirlinga is near Rameswaram?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rameshwaram is itself the Jyotirlinga, standing on Pamban Island, and it\u2019s the only one in Tamil Nadu. The next closest, Mallikarjuna in Srisailam, lies in Andhra Pradesh and needs a long drive, so most pilgrims base themselves in Madurai, about 170 to 180 km away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What are the benefits of visiting the 12 Jyotirlingas in India?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Devotees believe a visit brings moksha, release from repeated rebirth, and that chanting the twelve names every morning and evening wipes out the sins of seven lifetimes. The yatra also takes you through eight states, so you see varied temple styles, regional food and landscapes that range across coast, plateau and mountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How can I plan a road trip to the 12 Jyotirlingas?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Group the temples into regional clusters and pick a base city for each, such as Veraval and Dwarka for Gujarat, Nashik and Pune for Maharashtra, and Ujjain and Indore for Madhya Pradesh. Drive forest and ghat roads in daylight, keep a spare day around Kedarnath, and leave early on days that include a Bhasma Aarti or the Mangala Aarti at Kashi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Can I book a taxi or tempo traveller for a 12 Jyotirlinga tour?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. We provide sedans, SUVs and tempo travellers for local sightseeing, outstation and one way trips in every Jyotirlinga city, and our drivers know the lane and parking rules around each temple. See fares on the Chiku Cab app before you confirm, or ring 844-844-5504.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Travelling to the holiest spiritual sites in India is incomplete without visiting the 12 Jyotirlinga spread across the Indian subcontinent.
