Grishneshwar, counted twelfth and last in the traditional stotra, stands at Verul in Maharashtra — a few hundred steps from the rock-cut thunder of the Ellora caves, the smallest of the twelve shrines beside the mightiest of India's carved mountains. Its legend is domestic and tender: the devotee Ghushma, whose murdered son Shiva restored from the temple tank. The present red-stone temple is — once more — the work of Ahilyabai Holkar, her third appearance in the story of the twelve: Kashi, Grishneshwar, and the shore of Somnath.
