Things to Carry
In the Sahyadri mountain range near Pune, with a dense forest around and great natural beauty, is Bhimashankar Jyotirlinga. Lord Shiva defeating the demon named Bhima, is believed to be one incident that took place here. Also, the temple is situated at the origin of the Bhima River and is within the Bhimashankar Wildlife Sanctuary. One of the spiritually most uplifting Jyotirlingas in Maharashtra, undoubtedly, is the Bhimashankar with its serene ambience and beautiful nature around.
On the doorstep of Nashik city, Trimbakeshwar holds a very high place among the 12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva in India. What sets the temple apart is that the unique three-faced lingam - one face of Brahma, one of Vishnu and the third is Mahesh. The temple is situated at the source of the holy Godavari River and is a popular venue, for example for Pitra Dosh Puja and Rudrabhishek rituals. Trimbakeshwar, a place lost in the deep faith of devotees, is therefore very close to their hearts.
Only a couple of kilometres away from the famous Ellora Caves in Aurangabad, the Grishneshwar temple is a tiny one among the twelve Jyotirlingas but it is steeped in spiritual significance. The entire complex, reflecting the Hemadpanthi architectural style, is made of red basalt stone. Kusuma, a very devoted woman in the story, is said to have had such a great faith that Lord Shiva was moved to come to earth. Besides, the temple is situated in a serene environment which makes the darshan very peaceful and fulfilling.
Aundha Nagnath is identified with one of the oldest temples of Lord Shiva in India and is located in the district of Hingoli. The Puranas say the Pandavas used to live in this temple during their exile and it was also their handiwork. Some traditions also acknowledge it as being the first Jyotirlinga and the place has very strong mythological and historical importance.
Parli Vaijnath Jyotirlinga is well-known as a healing temple of Lord Shiva, which has the power of healing. This temple, which is situated in the district of Beed, is connected with the concept of the healing of the sick and the relief of the sufferer. Parli Vaijnath is a spiritually fulfilling place to visit by virtue of the peaceful ambiance and the sheer devotion emanating from the surroundings.
