1. Grishneswar Jyotirlinga Temple
Grishneshwar Jyotirlinga Temple is located in Ellora (also called Verul), less than a kilometer from Ellora Caves - a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is about 30 kilometres (19 miles) north-west of the city of Sambhaji Nagar, and about 300 kilometres (190 miles) east-northeast from Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.
The temple structure was destroyed by the Delhi Sultanate in 13th and 14th-century. The temple went through several rounds of rebuilding followed by re-destruction during the Mughal-Maratha conflict. It was rebuilt in the current form in the 18th century under the sponsorship of queen Ahilyabai Holkar of Indore, after the fall of the Mughal Empire.[7] It is presently an important and active pilgrimage site of the Hindus and attracts long lines of devotees daily. Anyone can enter the temple premises and its inner chambers, but to enter the sanctum sanctorum core (garbha-gruha) of the temple, the local Hindu tradition demands that men must go bare-chested.
