The Twelve Jyotirlingas

Shiva as infinite light

What This Pilgrimage Is About

Shiva as infinite light

Twelve shrines where Shiva is worshipped as a pillar of light rather than as an image, scattered from the Himalaya to the Deccan and the far South. Our journeys reach them in regional clusters.

The journeys below each cover a part of this circuit. Every one of them can be curated around your dates, pace and group.
