Malhar

The fourth Jyotirlinga among the twelve Jyotirlingas of Bhagwan Shiva is Omkareshwar. The glory of Omkareshwar is mentioned in ancient scriptures like the Skanda Purana, Shiva Purana, and Vayu Purana. Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga is situated on the northern bank of the Narmada River in Madhya Pradesh, about 77 km from Indore. It is the only Jyotirlinga located along the northern shore of the river. It is believed that after traversing the three worlds daily, Bhagwan Shiva rests here. Therefore, special sleeping arrangements, rituals, and Shayan Darshan of Bhagwan Shiva are arranged here.
