12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva
There are 12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva – Somnath (Gujarat), Mallikarjuna (Andhra Pradesh), Mahakaleshwar (Madhya Pradesh), Omkareshwar (Madhya Pradesh), Kedarnath (Uttarakhand), Bhimashankar (Maharashtra), Vishwanath (Uttar Pradesh), Trayambakeshwar (Maharashtra), Vaidyanath (Jharkhand), Nageshwar (Gujarat), Rameshwar (Tamil Nadu) and Ghushmeshwar (Maharashtra). Worshiping Jyotirlingas is better than worshipping other Shivlingas. If only the names of these Shivlingas are remembered every morning, the sins of seven births are washed away. If it is not possible for you to visit these Jyotirlingas, then you can also worship by placing their pictures in the house.
Rules for worshiping the 12 Jyotirlingas at home
Place the picture of Jyotirlinga in the east or west direction of the house. Do not place the pictures of all the Jyotirlingas together. It will be better if you place the picture of Jyotirlinga as per your requirement. You can place this picture on any day in the month of Savan. Otherwise, Monday, Purnima or Shivratri is also good for this. Do not place any other picture or deity at the place where you place the picture of Jyotirlinga.
