Mamaleshwar Temple is situated on the opposite bank of the Narmada river, Omkareshwar, Madhya Pradesh, India. Edit

Detail InformationEdit

Mamaleshwar houses one of the jyotirlingas, amongst the twelve in India. In spite of the Omkareshwar Temple being famous for the Jyotirlinga, Mamaleshwar holds the actual Jyotirling. The Mamaleshwar Temple is a temple with a hall and a sanctum. The Shiva Linga is present in the centre of sanctum. An idol of Goddess Parvati is located on the backside of the Shiva Linga, in the wall. The Omkareshwar Mamaleshwar Jyotirlingas are different. Many devotees tend to get a bit confused about this. Omkareshwar is undoubtedly main Jyotirlinga but another name which often comes in this context is Mamaleshwar. There are also several other temples of Lord Shiva around the main temple of Mamaleswar.

HistoryEdit

Mamaleshwar temple is a peaceful 11th century temple complex with finely carved stones and material from old temples around it. The devotee also performs puja in this temple.

Omkareshwar Temple is situated at banks of Narmada River in the Malva area in Madhya Pradesh. Edit

Detail InformationEdit

Omkareshwar Temple is one of the 12 revered Jyotirlinga shrines of Shiva. The temple is closely linked with Mammaleshwar Temple as both the forms of Shiva have been counted as one. Omkareshwar is considered to be one of the holiest Hindu sites in the nation. This is due to the presence of the Jyotirlingam, one of the twelve in India. Lingam is the symbol of Lord Shiva but the Jyotirlingam is special. Jyotirlingam is called the lingam of light. It is said to derive currents of power from within itself. While, an ordinary lingam is ritually invested with mantra shakti (power invested by chants) by the priests. The Jyotirlingam is enshrined in the Temple of Sri Omkareshwar Mahadeo. The Narmada banks and the island are extremely beautiful. The beauty of Nature here is seen to be believed.

HistoryEdit

The Omkareshwar Shiva Linga in this temple is believed to be a swayambhoo (self manifested) and is not affixed to the cupola, as it is encircled by water. In the ancient times the Demons defeated the Gods or Divines. Indra was worried. The Danavas or Demons have wrecked havoc in all the three worlds, i.e., Trilokas. In order to empower the Devas once again, Lord Shiva assumed the form of Jyotirmaya Omkararoop. He came out of the nether world or Patala. Lord Shankar came out in the form of Linga on the banks of river Narmada. The Gods or Devas have worshipped the Linga which made them powerful once again. This time they were able to destroy the demons and re-acquiesced their empire in Heavens.
