Jyotirlinga is considered one of the prime worship spots for the devotees of Lord Shiva. In Hindu Mythology, it is believed that Jyotirlinga means “The Radiant symbol of the Almighty”, so it is the resplendent flame of the almighty solidified to make the worship of it simple. There are a total of 64 Jyotirlingas that are well spread around the landscape of India. However, 12 Jyotirlingas are presumed to be very auspicious and highly revered among them.
These jyotirlingas are positioned in eight states of India, likes of Gujarat, Maharashtra, Tamilnadu, Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Uttarakhand, and Uttar Pradesh. As per the Hindu mythologies, visiting Jyotirlingas is an important pilgrimage that wades off all sins and makes the soul sacrosanct and pure. The devotees visiting these Jyotirlingas become chaste, pure, and calm. After visiting these Jyotirlingas, devotees turn home illuminated and enlightened with the highest and divine knowledge. It is also believed that wishes are fulfilled after visiting and having Darshan of these sacred Jyotirlingas. Thus, these Jyotirlingas are visited by Lord Shiva’s devotees every year in huge numbers.
Reflecting years of experience, Karnali Excursions has crafted a comprehensive itinerary for Ekadashi Jyotirlinga Darshan. The 25 nights and 26 days itinerary takes you to the 11 sacred Jyotirlingas out of 12 that lie in different states of India.
