द्वादश ज्योतिर्लिङ्ग
The Twelve Jyotirlingas
Twelve shrines of Shiva as a pillar of light — their stories, one by one.
The twelve Jyotirlinga shrines in the order of the traditional verse that lists them, from Somanatha to Grishneshwar: each shrine's story, what is seen there, and how it is visited — including the shrines whose location is claimed by more than one place.
Editorial note — Several Jyotirlingas (Bhimashankar, Vaidyanath, Nageshwar) are claimed by more than one place; we name the claims rather than choose. Temple customs and timings change — check with the temple before visiting.
