Flood of Devotion in Omkareshwar: Mass Bath in Narmada, Jyotirlinga Darshan, Gulal Use Banned

On the third Monday of the month of Shravan, a unique confluence of faith was seen in the pilgrimage town of Omkareshwar. As soon as the doors of the temple opened in the morning, thousands of devotees rushed to visit Lord Omkareshwar and Mamleshwar Jyotirlinga. The temple premises echoed with the chants of 'Har Har Mahadev' and 'Jai Narmada'. Deputy Collector and Temple Incharge Mukesh Kashiv and Tehsildar Uday Mandloi informed that keeping in mind the crowd on this special occasion, the doors of the temple were opened in the morning. Darshan started with Mangal Aarti by the temple priest Pt. Jagdish Parsai. Devotees reached Sukhdev Muni Dwar in queues since morning to have darshan of their idol.

Mahabhishek and Mahasringar

At 4 pm, the Panchmukhi Mukhota of Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga will be given Panchamrit Mahabhishek with 251 holy pots at Kothi Tirth Ghat. At the same time, special Mahasringar will be performed in the sanctum sanctorum of Mamleshwar Jyotirlinga. The grand processions of both the Jyotirlingas will also take boat rides in the Narmada river and will give darshan to the devotees through a procession in the city.
