The 3 Jyotirlingas You Will Visit
Trimbakeshwar Jyotirlinga
Trimbakeshwar Jyotirlinga is located 28 km from Nashik in Maharashtra and is one of the most significant of the twelve Jyotirlingas. The temple is distinguished by its rare three-faced lingam (Tryambak) representing Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva — the only Jyotirlinga in India with this tri-deity form. The Godavari River, one of India's most sacred rivers, originates from the Brahmagiri hills adjacent to the temple.
Trimbakeshwar is the venue for the Nashik Kumbh Mela (Sinhastha), held every 12 years, attracting millions of devotees. The temple's Hemadpanthi-style architecture features black stone sculptures, carved pillars, and the Amritavarshini tank (92 × 98 ft) within the complex.

Grishneshwar Jyotirlinga
Grishneshwar is the 12th and final of the twelve Jyotirlingas, located at Verul village, 29 km from Aurangabad, adjacent to the UNESCO World Heritage Ellora Caves. The temple was rebuilt by Ahilyabai Holkar in the 18th century and is considered the smallest Jyotirlinga temple in India in terms of structure. Pilgrims completing all 12 Jyotirlingas traditionally conclude at Grishneshwar.
The temple is constructed from red volcanic rock and adorned with intricate carvings. The proximity to Ellora Caves makes Grishneshwar a cultural and spiritual double destination — sacred Shiva shrine and UNESCO heritage site in the same visit.

Bhimashankar Jyotirlinga
Bhimashankar Jyotirlinga is situated at 1,000 metres in the Sahyadri hills of Pune district, surrounded by the Bhimashankar Wildlife Sanctuary and dense Shola forests. Mythology states that Lord Shiva appeared here in his fierce Bhima form after defeating the demon Tripurasura — the temple name derives from this legend. The Bhima River originates from the hills adjacent to the temple, flowing eastward to join the Krishna.
Bhimashankar is ~110 km from Pune (3 hours by road) and ~190 km from Mumbai. The ghat road through the Sahyadri hills offers a scenic approach. The temple's Nagara-style architecture dates to the 18th century, with significant additions by Nana Phadnavis. Read our guide to visiting Bhimashankar for the best darshan timings and seasonal tips.
