The twelve Jyotirlingas are the holiest shrines of Lord Shiva, spread from Kedarnath in the Himalaya to Rameswaram on the southern coast. Most pilgrims visit them a few at a time, grouped by region.
We book the Bhasma Aarti at Mahakaleshwar in Ujjain when slots are released, plan around abhishekam timings and combine nearby Jyotirlingas so you spend more time in darshan and less on the road.
