Shri Mamleshwar Jyotirling Temple

  • Mamleshwar Jyotirlinga Temple is the only important shrine on the mainland, and faces the Omkar- Mandhata. 
  • This Temple is located near Amreshwar temple opposite to the Omkareshwar Temple.
  • It was constructed in the 10th century and a protected monument which depicts extraordinary architectural style of ancient India.  
  • There are verandahs encircling the temple which have columns carved in square, polygon and circles. 
  • The stone roof of the temple is also intricately carved. This temple, like the Omkareshwar Temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva. 
  • It is believed 22 Brahmins performed the Lingarchan rituals on a daily basis in the temple since the reign of Maharani Ahilyabai.
