Madhya Pradesh houses two of the twelve Jyotirlingas — Mahakaleshwar at Ujjain (one of the seven Sapta Puri and the only south-facing Jyotirlinga, with daily Bhasma Aarti) and Omkareshwar (on a Mandhata-island shaped like Om in the Narmada). Khajuraho’s 11th-century Chandela temples are a UNESCO heritage cluster.

Frequently asked questions
What is Bhasma Aarti at Mahakaleshwar?
A 4 AM ritual where the Jyotirlinga is anointed with sacred ash. Only Mahakaleshwar performs Bhasma Aarti — booking required ~30 days ahead, ₹500–₹3,000.
How are Mahakal and Omkareshwar visited together?
Both Jyotirlingas are 130 km apart — most yatris do Ujjain (with Bhasma Aarti) day 1 and drive to Omkareshwar day 2, returning to Indore for the night.
