The 2 temples in this group
Listed by stotram number, which is a list order, not a travel order.
By state: Jyotirlingas in Madhya Pradesh
How the group fits together
Ujjain and Omkareshwar are a half day apart on the Malwa plateau and the Narmada valley, by road or by rail and road. Omkareshwar is reached from Omkareshwar Road station and then over the bridge or by boat to Mandhata island. Ujjain is a main line junction with trains east, west and north, and Indore airport sits between the two.
Two temples and one short leg is the least travel of any group on the site. Both sit inside one state, both are reachable from Indore, and both fit inside two days with an early start. Ujjain is also a large rail junction, so the group works as part of a longer trip as well as a trip of its own. Hold a bhasma aarti slot at Mahakaleshwar and that morning starts before dawn.
