The Legends of 12 Jyotirlingas

The God of Gods, Mahadev, some call him Bholenath, some say Shankar, others know him as Nataraj, while many worship him as the three-eyed one, the matted-hair one, or the Lord of Time. He is the God of destruction, but just as much a compassionate creator. Devotion to him is not just a ritual, it is an experience, a moment that connects the soul to the Supreme. There are many ways to worship Lord Shiva, but the most divine and miraculous among them are the Jyotirlingas. Jyotirlinga means a place where Lord Shiva himself appeared in the form of pure light. These are the places where even today, devotees feel his presence as alive and real. It is believed that there are 12 sacred Jyotirlingas on Earth - Somnath, Mallikarjun, Mahakaleshwar, Omkareshwar, Kedareshwar, Bhimashankar, Vishveshwar, Trimbakeshwar, Vaidyanath, Nageshwar, Rameshwaram, and Grishneshwar (or Ghushmeshwar). In this series, we will explore the legends associated with these 12 holy places, the folk tales behind them, and the divine presence of Lord Shiva that can still be felt there.
