Two practices complete Omkareshwar’s darshan: the ~7 km Omkar Parvat parikrama — the trust’s own described circuit past Siddhanath Baradari, Gauri Somnath and the great Adi Shankaracharya statue at Ekatm Dham — and the walk across the river to Mamleshwar (Amreshwar), the southern-bank temple the trust counts as the other half of the Jyotirlinga.

Doing both well
- Parikrama at dawn — cool, empty, the Narmada on both sides.
- The pair in sequence: Omkareshwar island darshan → bridge to Mamleshwar → darshan. The trust frames them as one darshan in two temples.
- Note on the shape: the island’s Om form is the town’s famous description — it belongs to popular tradition and aerial views, and the trust’s fetched pages don’t state it; we leave it exactly there.
Frequently asked questions
How long is the Omkareshwar parikrama?
~7 km (trust-described).
Do I need both temples for the darshan?
The trust directs devotees to both — Omkareshwar and Mamleshwar together form the Jyotirlinga.
