Trimbakeshwar Jyotirlinga (Nashik)

Trimbakeshwar lies in the Brahmagiri hills near the source of the Godavari and is the Jyotirlinga closest to Nashik city. Its lingam has three faces, which devotees associate with Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. The temple is also closely linked with Nashik's Simhastha Kumbh Mela.

Bhimashankar Jyotirlinga (Pune)

Bhimashankar sits deep in the Sahyadri hills inside the Bhimashankar Wildlife Sanctuary, and the Bhima river begins in this area. The forest setting makes it the most scenic of the five, though the approach roads are slow during the monsoon.

Grishneshwar Jyotirlinga (Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar)

Grishneshwar stands close to the UNESCO-listed Ellora Caves, so many pilgrims combine temple darshan with a heritage visit on the same day. It is often counted as the twelfth and last Jyotirlinga.

Aundha Nagnath is an ancient temple built in the Hemadpanthi style, also in Marathwada. It is usually quieter than the other four, which suits pilgrims who prefer a calmer darshan.
