Omkareshwar
Omkareshwar, the sacred island, shaped like the holiest of all Hindu symbols, 'Om', has drawn hundreds of generations of pilgrims. Here, at the confluence of the rivers Narmada and Kaveri, the devout gather to pray to Jyotirlinga (one of the twelve in India) at the temple of Shri Omkar Mandhata.Between the precipitous hills of the Vindhya on the North and the Satpura on the South, the Narmada forms a deep silent pool which used to be full of tame alligators and fish. This pool is 270 ft below the cantilever type bridge constructed in 1979. The bridge has enhanced the scenic beauty of the place, making it look exceedingly picturesque.
