The Origin of the Sri Omkareshwar Jyothirlinga
Vindhya asked Lord Shiva to live on the mountain range. So, Lord Shiva created a Jyotirlinga where a part of him would live. This Jyotirlinga is situated on an island that is said to look like Om, and thus this Jyotirlinga is called Omkareshwar.
Shiva was asked to stay back on earth for long, but he could not hence he slit the Shivalinga to two halves – Omkareshwara who lives on the island and Amaleshwara who lives on the mainland.
