During the third week of Jan I was in Madhya Pradesh. So, how could I not visit Omkareshwar. Omkareshwar temple is one of the 12 Jyothirlings in india. I also visited the sacred city of Ujjain where another jyothirling MahaKaleshwar resides. Omkareshwar is situatuted on the bank of rivers Narmada and Kaveri. Omkareshwar is situated at the meeting point of rivers Kaveri and Narmada. A meeting point of Rivers is considered a holy place by Hindus. Omkareshwar temple is situated on an island which is in the shape of the word ‘Om’ in Sanskrit.
Omkareshwar is 77km(48 miles) from Indore. Also, Omkareshwar Road is the nearest railway station, Omkareshwar is 12km( 7miles)from this station. You can stay in Indore and hire a taxi to come here. There are very few hotels here, and they are not so good.
Here are some photographs from my camera

On Narmada river this is a Dam constructed by the JAYPEE Group:

The following pictures are from Mamleshwar. Mamleshwar is situated on the bank of Narmada river exactly opposite to the Omkareshwar temple. These temples were constructed a long time back. I can tell this based on the design 
. There are Shiva Lings in these temples. However, these are being neglected by the ASI( Archeological Survey of India)

Dear Suyash, Nice photographs, Keep it up.
I want to visit omkareshwar and mahakaleshwar (2 jyotirlingas) on one day. Is it possible. Is it OK if I keep UJJain as the base. Any recommended place of stay at Ujjain?
Best wishes
Iyer
Hello Mr. Iyer,
You can visit them on the same day, it’ not impossible. However, you should plan your trip based on the timings of the temple. The temples are closed from time to time to maintain the temple premises clean. So, you can visit one jyotirlinga in the morning and another in evening. This is needs good planning and sticking to the plan. I would personally suggest that you may keep Ujjain as your base but visit the jyotirlingas in 2 different days. So, that the journey won’t make you tired and you can enjoy the surroundings of Ujjain on one whole day and visit Omkareshwar on another day. There are lot of other places to visit in Ujjain like the ashram where krishna and sudama studied together. You will need a guide to accompany you to visit such places. Also, Ujjain may be expensive as it’s a tourist destination. So, you may also consider to stay in Indore. I was there in a Guest House so I have no idea about which hotel is good in Indore or Ujjain. Sorry about this.
