The Omkareshwar Temple, situated on an Om-shaped island in Madhya Pradesh's Khandwa district, holds great religious importance.
Omkareshwar, located in Madhya Pradesh, ranks as the fourth among the twelve sacred Jyotirlingas dedicated to Lord Shiva.
Here, Lord Shiva resides atop the Om-shaped mountain along the banks of the Narmada River.
The prevailing belief is that Lord Bholenath traverses the three worlds daily and returns to this temple each night to rest.
Similar to the renowned Bhasma Aarti of the Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga in Ujjain, the Shayan Aarti of the Omkareshwar Temple is celebrated worldwide.
At the Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga Temple, aarti for Lord Shiva is conducted three times daily: in the morning, at midday, and in the evening.
It is also believed that, in this temple, Lord Mahadev engages in a game of ‘Chausar’ with Goddess Parvati.
