Among these, Shri Bhimashankar holds the honor of being the sixth Jyotirlinga — situated in Pune district, Maharashtra, within the dense valleys of the Sahyadri range, inside the Bhimashankar Wildlife Sanctuary. It is believed that darshan and abhishek here fulfill wishes and grant liberation from life's sins.
The journey to the remaining eleven Jyotirlingas will also become available on Mangal Bhav in turn. Tap a number on the wheel to learn about each Jyotirlinga.
Layered with history and faith, this temple holds a special place for devotees of Shiva—
Bhimashankar is the sacred site nestled in the dense valleys of the Sahyadri range in Pune district, Maharashtra, which holds a distinctive place among the twelve Jyotirlingas in scripture. Witnessed by dense forests and the source of the Bhima River, the tradition of Shiva worship has continued unbroken here for ages.
Devotees come here from India and abroad to receive the blessings of Lord Bhimashankar and perform Rudrabhishek and Darshan Pooja according to scripture-sanctioned methods.
A ritual performed in scripture-sanctioned sequence by qualified acharyas — in your name and gotra.
The acharya takes the Sankalp in your name and gotra, then performs the worship of Shri Ganesh, remover of obstacles.
Amid the chanting of Vedic mantras, the Jyotirlinga is bathed with water, milk, honey, curd, ghee and Bilva leaves.
The scripture-sanctioned Mahamrityunjaya and Shiva Panchakshari mantras are chanted according to proper procedure.
After the abhishek, the deity is adorned, and you are shown darshan via live video.
Your name is included in prayer during the grand evening aarti that echoes through the Sahyadri valleys.
After the pooja is complete, prasad, a video of the pooja, and a digital completion certificate are provided.
