The legend related to Omkareshwar Temple

 

The Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga has three tales according to Hindu mythology. According to the first mythology, ‘Vindhya Parbat’ did penance to please Lord Shiva, and as a result, Lord Shiva appeared here and granted the Vindhya Parbat his request to be larger than ‘Meru Parbat.’

 

On the request of gods and sages, the Linga worshipped by Vindhya Parbat was divided into two pieces, ‘Omkareshwar’ and ‘Mamleshwar.’ Omkareshwar and Mamleshwar temples are thought to be single manifestations of the same Shiva Lingam since then.

 

A second myth claims that King Mandhata and his two sons performed penance. Lord Shiva manifested as a Jyotirlinga in response to their devotion. According to the third narrative, Lord Shiva conquered the Asuras in the guise of Omkareshwar during a horrific fight between Devas and Asuras.
