Trinetra: The 12 Manifestations Of Lord Shiva
For
Centuries, India has captivated the world with its rich history and tradition
complemented with the sheer existence of a wide range of languages and cultures
within the country. For a culturally inclined traveler, India is therefore
nothing short of a paradise.
If you are
an Indian or an enthusiast of Hinduism, you must have come across the term “Jyotirlinga” quite a few times while growing up.
These Jyotirlingas are considered manifestations of Lord Shiva. The word
Jyotirlinga is composed of two words-Jyoti means light and linga which is an
aniconic representation of Lord Shiva. If you are planning to embark on a
spiritual journey, then these jyotirlingas, that are as divine as the presence
of the almighty God itself would be the apt beginning for this journey. There
are about 64 jyotirlingas in India, among which 12 are considered
highly auspicious. These include Somnath
Jyotirlinga, Mallikarjuna Jyotirlinga, Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga, Mahakaleshwar
Jyotirlinga, Vaidyanath Jyotirlinga, Bhimashankar Jyotirlinga, Rameshwar
Jyotirlinga, Nageshwar Jyotirlinga, Kashi Vishwanath, Trimbakeshwar
Jyotirlinga, Kedarnath Jyotirlinga, and Ghrishneshwar Jyotirlinga.
Unfortunately, the attention span is falling
each day and our fast-paced lifestyle is leaving our upcoming generations miles
away from our rich heritage and history. Mallika Empire, a leading jewelry brand is striving for the
preservation and revitalization of cultural assets; the reinvigoration of
cultural traditions. With this thought in mind, began the journey of the series
of Coffee Table Books, each on a specific and important aspect of Indian
History and Culture. The coffee table book series is going to be a concise visual treat
while promoting Indian Culture & Tourism with the masses. The first book of
this series is about these 12 Jyotirlingas in India. Can’t wait to see it!!
