Why Start the Jyotirlinga Circuit from Aurangabad
Maharashtra is traditionally counted as home to five of the twelve Jyotirlingas: Grishneshwar, Trimbakeshwar, Bhimashankar, Aundha Nagnath and Parli Vaijnath. (Aundha Nagnath and Parli Vaijnath are also claimed by temples in other states, but both are widely visited as Jyotirlingas.) For the two Madhya Pradesh Jyotirlingas, see our Ujjain and Omkareshwar tour. Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar sits close to the middle of this group, which makes it a practical base. Grishneshwar is near the city, the eastern pair lies in the Marathwada region, and Trimbakeshwar and Bhimashankar lie to the west.
The Five Temples at a Glance
| Jyotirlinga | Location | Planning note |
|---|---|---|
| Grishneshwar | Verul, next to Ellora | Easy half day; combine with Ellora Caves |
| Aundha Nagnath | Hingoli district | East of Aurangabad; usually paired with Parli, or with Nanded |
| Parli Vaijnath | Beed district | Plan an overnight stay on the eastern loop |
| Trimbakeshwar | Near Nashik | West of Aurangabad; see Aurangabad to Nashik cab |
| Bhimashankar | Sahyadri hills, Pune district | Hill road; allow extra time in the monsoon |
Suggested Ways to Plan It
Many pilgrims cover all five in about four to five days, but the right plan depends on your pace, the group’s age and how long you wish to spend at each temple. Common options:
Short trips
- Grishneshwar with Ellora, one day
- Grishneshwar and Trimbakeshwar, two days
- Aundha Nagnath and Parli Vaijnath loop, two days
Full circuit
- All five Jyotirlingas, about four to five days
- Add Shirdi and Shani Shingnapur for one more day
- End at Pune or Mumbai instead of returning to Aurangabad
- Pair with the Ashtavinayak yatra near Pune
These are indicative plans. Road conditions, festival crowds such as Mahashivratri and Shravan Mondays, and temple timings can change the pace, so discuss your dates before finalising the route.
