Dwadash Jyotirlinga

All India 🕑 20 to 30 days · 12 stops
Why

The twelve self-manifested lingas — where the light is held to have appeared without beginning or end.

When

Any time. Shravana and Mahashivratri bring very large crowds.

The order

No fixed order in most traditions. No prescribed order. The Dwadasha Jyotirlinga Stotra names them in a sequence many follow for that reason alone.

The stops, in order

1 Somnath Gujarat
2 Mallikarjuna Andhra Pradesh
3 Mahakaleshwar Ujjain — the only south-facing one; Bhasma Aarti at dawn
4 Omkareshwar Madhya Pradesh
5 Kedarnath Uttarakhand
6 Bhimashankar Maharashtra
7 Kashi Vishwanath Varanasi
8 Trimbakeshwar Nashik
9 Vaidyanath Jharkhand
10 Nageshwar Gujarat
11 Rameswaram Tamil Nadu
12 Grishneshwar Ellora, Maharashtra
Prepare
  • Bhasma Aarti at Ujjain must be booked well ahead and has its own rules of dress.
  • Kedarnath is seasonal — it will decide when the circuit can be completed.
