We visited Omkareshwar Jyotirling recently. We took the Bus from Indore which costed Rs 70. The taxi from Indore to Omkareshwar is Rs 2700 to and fro.
Omkareshwar is located @ 70 km away from Indore. This is the Island in between Narmada River and River flows surround the temple. the temple bird view is like a Hindu Spiritual Devanagari "OM" (ॐ ) symbol, hence this Jyotirlinga is called as Omkareshwar. As this temple is on Island we have to go to the temple by Boat or by Pathway Bridge only,
There is a Bridge which was constructed in 1979 for pilgrims who want to visit the temple by walk. One more Hanging Bridge is constructed recently in 2004, which is 4 meters wide and 235 meters long. This Swing bridge will take us directly to Main entrance of the temple.
We hires individual boat to visit temple and as a package he has taken us to Narmada and Kuveri river Sangam, Dam and then after darshan he dropped us at south bank of the Narmada river from where we started. This was most exited movement to us.
Architecture of the temple:
The Omkareshwar temple is built in the North Indian style of architecture, with high spires in Nagar Style. This temple has a grand Sabha mandap standing on about 60 stone pillars having 14 feet high. There is no evidence who has constructed this temple, the earliest evidence states that in 1063, King Udayaditya installed four stones each with Sanskrit Stotra's. In 1195, Raja Bharat Singh Chauhan Renovated this temple.
History of the temple:
Along with Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga, there is also Mamleshwar Jyotirlinga on the other bank of Narmada River. Both these Shivalinga's are considered to be the same Jyotirlinga.
Inside the Garbhagriha on one side, Omkar Shivalinga and another side Goddess Parvati and Lord Ganesh idols are established. Always water is filled naturally around the Jyotirlinga. There are temples of Govindeshwar, Maa Annapurna and Panchamukha Ganesha.
The Island where this temple is situated is called as Mandhata Parvat or Shivpuri. There is Parikrama Path on this island which is about 7-8 km long and the way is completely full of temples. This full parikrama needs to be complete by foot only and which will take @ 3-4 hours easily.
As per the Hindu mythology, Lord Shiva comes to Omkareshwar Mamleshwar temple daily after traveling on the Earth for the rest of the night. Temple priest does Syan Aarti of Lord Shiva here based in the mythological belief. Omkareshwar is the only temple where Lord Shiva's Shayan Aarti is done by the priests of the temple. Shayan Aarti happened in a very secret way here daily at 08:30 pm
