The Five Sacred Jyotirlingas of Maharashtra

Let’s take a deeper look into these divine shrines, their legends, and what you can expect at each destination.

1. Trimbakeshwar Jyotirlinga – Nashik

Known to be among the twelve Jyotirlingas, Trimbakeshwar is a sacred place which is situated in Nasik that is nestled near to the head of the river Godavari. The specialty of this temple is the linga which is deity having three faces symbolizing Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu, and Lord Siva as Trimutri.

It is believed that the Gods brought Ganga down to earth with the blessings of Gautama rishi by descent and God shiva is also benevolent here. There is a supposed holy water tank known as Kushavarta Kund which removes all sorts of sins and is an integral part of the rituals performed here.

The temple building is made of black basalt and has complex images, different gods, and guardians sculpted at its walls. It is an effective area for people who wish to purify themselves and find spiritual guidance inside.

2. Bhimashankar Jyotirlinga – Pune

There is not only pilgrim center but also wildlife sanctuary where endangered animal like the Indian giant squirrel can be seen.

Actually, the deity situated in the Bhimashankar area is considered as an incarnation of Lord Shiva in the form of Bhimashankar to fight against the demon known as tripurasura. Later on, after the establishment of dominance, Shiva remained here as a linga. The aesthetic and structure of the temple complies with Nagara principle and the environment offers a serenic feeling.

Any one who likes to worship a god with natural surrounding will find this jyotirlinga suitable for his practice.

3. Grishneshwar Jyotirlinga – Aurangabad

The story of a woman named Ghushma, whose unwavering devotion brought her son back to life and invoked Shiva’s presence, defines this temple’s legacy.

The temple is beautifully constructed in red stone and showcases Maratha-style architecture with elaborate carvings of deities and dancers.

It is believed that taking darshan here blesses you with harmony, fertility, and protection from evil.

4. Aundha Nagnath Jyotirlinga – Hingoli

Large and ancient, the temple is shrouded in legends that place it in the hands of the Pandavas, who supposedly constructed it when they were in exile.

There is an air of secrecy about this linga because of the belief that it is swayambhu, or self-manifested. 

5. Parli Vaijnath Jyotirlinga – Beed

People seeking remedies for mental and physical illnesses go to this temple. Legend has it that Ravana, intent on bringing this sacred Jyotirlinga to Lanka, tried and failed to steal it.

The facade of the temple is exquisite, and it is well-organised and pleasant. Inside, there are intricate religious procedures that require undivided attention.
