Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga Daily Darshan

The importance of Omkareshwar jyotirlinga further can be propounded by the fact that the journey of Char Dham and also twelve jyotirlingas are not considered as accomplished until the water is offered to Omkareshwar shivling and darshan are done at Omkareshwar temple as well as at Mamleshwar temple.

Dwadash Jyotirlinga Shlok :

सौराष्ट्रे सोमनाथंच श्री शैले मल्लिकार्जुनम् |

उज्जयिन्यां महाकालमोंकारममलेश्वरम् ||

The appearance of Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga

In mythological books, it is mentioned that king Mandhata, the 39th generation (ancestor) of king Ramchandra did severe penance and pleased Lord Shiva to appear here in the form of a ‘Linga’. While, as his first wish Omkareshwar shivling is the result of his austerities we can feel the presence of Bholenath here in ‘swayambhu’ linga form. Additionally, He asked for two boons from lord Shiva. As a result of this, it is believed that Lord Shiva himself comes here during the night and plays the game called “Choupar” which is undoubtedly adorned here very beautifully on regular basis during the ‘Sayan aarti’. and for this reason, the ‘Sayan aarti’ of omkareshwar jyotirlinga is famous worldwide.

Temple architecture

Omkareshwar temple is five-storeyed. Indeed, Omkareshwar itself sits here in different forms of shiv linga with five other names on all five floors. For this reason, it is said that the worship of Omkareshwar is fulfilled just by doing the darshan of all five Shillings. 

Mahakaleshwar on the second floor, Siddharth on the third one, then kedareshwar on the fourth floor, and finally, Gupteshwar on the fifth floor which is also known as Ghaneshwar jaldhari by many devotees. And of course, with omkareshwar shivling on the ground or first floor.

Significance of Omkareshwar Temple

It is believed here that Lord Shiva and Maa Parvati, themselves come here, at
Omkareshwar jyotirlinga for night rest and as a result of which the ‘Sayan aarti’
and ‘Ratri puja’ has its importance and is famous everywhere.
In the night, it is said that Lord Shiva comes here and plays ‘chosar’ with Maa
Parvati, therefore the ‘chosar’ is laid daily before the doors of the Omkareshwar
Temple is closed, and in the morning when the doors get opened the chosar is found to
be scattered, as if it has been played at night.

Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga is a “Swayambu” linga, which originated
on its own. It is consequently believed that the ‘char Dham yatra’ is unfruitful
unless the darshan of omkareshwar jyotirlinga is done.

The Omkareshwar’s Mandhata or Shivpuri island is formed when the river Narmada
gets separated into two parts, resulting in the formation of the island. It is believed
that the Omkareshwar temple is in the middle of the river. Also, when seen
from the aerial view of the island it appears to be in the shape of ‘OM’ (“ॐ”)

The Omkareshwar temple is always crowded with devotees. Firstly, they purify
themselves by ablution in the Narmada River. Secondly, they bring the holy water of Maa
Narmada along with flowers, coconut, and other worshipping materials. Finally, they
dedicate all that to omkareshwar shivling with prayers to fulfill their wishes. For special puja and
Abhishek many of them bring Pundits too.

Jyotirlinga is where lord Shiva got manifested and further
situated in the form of a Linga here. On the other hand, Omkareshwar jyotirlinga is a
swayambhu linga, for this reason, it is believed that just by doing darshan here, one
gets free of all his sins.

Sandhya Aarti takes place at 8.30 pm.

Significance of Evening (Sandhya ) Aarti of Omkareshwar Temple

That is why Sandhya Aarti has special significance here like Bhasma Aarti is in Ujjain. Chosar is laid here in the aarti, which is found scattered in the morning. It is said that Lord Shiva plays Chaucer here at night with Maa Parvati.
