Muktidham
Nashik Road, Maharashtra
Muktidham is a large white marble temple complex in Nashik Road. It holds replicas of all twelve Jyotirlingas and a Krishna temple, and the walls carry the eighteen chapters of the Bhagavad Gita.
What to see and do
- Have darshan of all twelve Jyotirlingas in one place
- Read the Gita chapters carved on the walls
- See the paintings of Krishna's life and the Mahabharata in the Krishna temple
Good to know
- It is easy to walk through, and comfortable for elders and for those who cannot travel across India
- It is in the Nashik Road area, so allow time to travel from Panchavati
Spiritual significance
Built in 1971 and funded by a local industrialist family through a trust, Muktidham brings the twelve Jyotirlingas of India under one roof.
Why it matters
- A comfortable way to pay respects to all twelve Jyotirlingas in a single visit
- Carved from white marble brought from Rajasthan
- Muktidham means 'abode of liberation', and the Gita on its walls reflects that theme
