Omkareshwar is approx. 70 km from Indore, on the banks of holy river Narmada. Road from Indore is beautiful as it pass through ghat section. Actually there are 2 jyotirlinga temple if one has to believe by the priest. one is main Omkareshwar temple and other one is mamleshwar temple which is in the town near to cable bridge. 2 temple together makes a one jyotirlinga temple. Main Omkareshwar temple is on the other side of river narmada. one can go there by boat or by cable strained pedestrian bridge. However later is advisable as a easy walkable path. Omkareshwar main temple having small sanctum area. However darshan is smooth and there is no long queue when we visited.
