Among them, Shri Somnath holds the distinction of being the first Jyotirlinga — situated on the shore of the Arabian Sea in Prabhas Patan, Gujarat. It is believed that darshan and abhishek here fulfil wishes and free one from the sins of life.
Journeys to the remaining eleven Jyotirlingas will also become available on Mangal Bhav in turn. Tap a number on the wheel to learn about that Jyotirlinga.
