The Sound of Creation

Omkareshwar is the fourth Jyotirlinga, situated on an island in the Narmada River that is said to be shaped like the symbol 'Om' (ॐ).

This sacred site is unique as it houses two ancient shrines—Omkareshwar on the island and Mamleshwar on the south bank—both worshipped as equal forms of Lord Shiva.
