Tour overview
7 Jyotirlinga Darshan Yatra package is thoughtfully designed for those who want to enlighten their soul with the sacred illumination in various Jyotirlinga temples in India. The Jyotirlingas is one of the revered and significant shrines in Hinduism dedicated to Lord Shiva, one of the most respected gods in Hindu mythology. Lord Shiva is considered to be the Mahadev (the supreme God) and a Jyotirlinga is the manifestation of the Lord himself. It is believed that the Jyotirlingas are not man-made and each Jyotirlinga is Swayambhu (self-manifested). Jyotirlinga means “lingam of light”.
There are a total of 12 Jyotirlingas in India and our Jyotirlinga Darshan tour package will take you on a tour of 7 of these 12 Jyotirlingas. Come soak yourself in the divinity of Lord Shiva and remove the darkness of negative feelings from your heart by drenching your soul in the light of these Jyotirlingas. Our 8-day 7-night 7 Jyotirlinga tour package is designed to help you complete the pilgrimage without any discomfort.
