Walking the alleys...Omkareshwar Temple...
Me and Col Pandey making our way through the alleys of Omkareshwar Temple. It is a drive of about 77kms from Indore.
The name Omkareshwar derives from the word Om, which signifies the most sacred Hindu symbol. This island is shaped like the Om and is about 2km long and 1km wide.It is one of the holiest Hindu sites in India by virtue of the presence a jyotirlingam, one of the twelve in India.
As you probably know by now, the lingam is the symbol of Lord Shiva and there must be simply thousands of them in India.
The jyotirlingam or the lingam of light, however, is special. It is believed to derive currents of power from within itself as opposed to an ordinary lingam which is ritually invested with mantra shakti (power invested by chants) by the priests.
