Omkareshwar, the fourth jyotirlinga, stands on Mandhata island in the Narmada, Madhya Pradesh — an island whose very shape tradition reads as the sacred syllable . The deity is worshipped in two forms across the river: Omkareshwar, lord of the Omkara, and Amareshwar (Mamleshwar) on the southern bank, counted by many traditions as one jyotirlinga in two bodies — the river itself flowing between them like a mantra.

This page awaits its full Indopedia treatment — history from inscriptions and chronicles, period images with provenance, and the chain of builders and rebuilders, in the manner of Somnath Temple — The Shrine Eternal. To take up this temple, see Indopedia:Contribute.
