About this trip
Maharashtra holds five of the twelve Jyotirlingas — Trimbakeshwar near Nashik, Bhimashankar in the Sahyadris, Grishneshwar by the Ellora caves, Aundha Nagnath in Marathwada and Parli Vaijnath. This circuit links all five Shiva shrines of the state in one devotional journey across the Deccan, pairing the great temples with the Ellora caves and the Godavari-basin heritage around them; the order is planned around your start city.
