About the Omkareshwar Darshan from Shirdi
Omkareshwar sits on Mandhata island in the Narmada, a landmass said to be shaped like the sacred symbol 'Om'. Along with Mamleshwar on the opposite bank, it is revered as one of the 12 Jyotirlingas.
The island is also home to the 108-foot Statue of Oneness of Adi Shankaracharya. Pair Omkareshwar with Ujjain and Maheshwar for a complete Narmada–Malwa pilgrimage from Shirdi.
