Shree Omkareshwar Mahadev Mandir (52/84) Kathiyawadi, Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh

In ancient times Shiva appeared as a divine man. The man asked Shiva what work he should do, then Shiva said that you should distribute your soul. That man became worried due to not understanding Shiva’s words and another man was born from his body, Which Shiva named Omkar. By the order of Shiva, Omkar created Vedas, gods, creation, humans, sages and stood in front of Shiva.

Shiva was pleased and told Omkar that you should now go to Mahakal forest and worship the Shivling located in the east direction of Shuleshwar Mahadev. Omkar reached there and after seeing the Shivalinga, got absorbed in it.

Due to the absorption of Omkar into Shivalinga, Shivalinga became famous by the name of ॐkareshwar or Omkareshwar. It is believed that whoever worships this Shivalinga gets the same results as any other pilgrimage.
