Omkareshwar, the fourth jyotirlinga, stands on Mandhata island in the Narmada, Madhya Pradesh — an island whose very shape tradition reads as the sacred syllable ॐ. 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.
