Jyothirlingas of Our Country






I was on a trip a few days back. There is this new temple opened in Raichur which has replicas of all the Jyotirlingas in India. 

There are 12 of them and the list is as follows,

1. Somnath Jyotirlinga - Gujarat (West
2. Mallikarjuna Jyotirlinga - A.P (South)
3. Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga - M.P (Central)
4. Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga - M.P (Central)
5. Vaidhyanath Jyotirlinga - Jharkhand (East)
6. Bhimashankar Jyotirlinga - Maharashtra (West)
7. Rameshwar Jyotirlinga - Tamil Nadu (South)
8. Nageshwar Jyotirlinga - Gujarat (West)
9. Kashi Vishwanath Jyotirlinga - U.P (North)
10. Trimbakeshwar Jyotirlinga - Maharashtra (West)
11. Kedarnath Jyotirlinga - Uttarakhand (North)
12. Grishneshwar Jyotirlinga - Maharashtra (West)

South: 2 Lingas
West: 5 Lingas
Central: 2 Lingas
North: 2 Lingas
East: 1

I haven't yet had to chance to see even a single Jyotirlinga till date. But this temple had all the 12 of them. I have now decided that I am going to start with South first and then move my way upwards. One at a time - Har Har Mahadev!
