Ghrishneshwar Jyotirlinga
Ghrishneshwar stands at Verul near the Ellora caves and is traditionally revered as the twelfth and concluding Jyotirlinga. Its story is of Ghushma, whose patient worship and forgiveness brought Śiva to remain in her name.

Bhimashankar stands in the forests of the Sahyadri at the source of the Bhima River. The shrine joins the Purāṇic story of Śiva’s victory over the demon Bhimasura with Maratha-period patronage and a living forest landscape.
Trimbakeshwar rests at the foot of Brahmagiri, where the Godavari begins its journey. Remembered through the compassion of the sage Gautama, the shrine is known for its sanctum in which three small lingas rest below the surrounding surface.
