Overview
Mahakaleswar is the symbol of eternal Moksha and unbreakable faith for staunch Shiva devotees and Hindu worshippers. The shrine is also one of the 18 Maha Shakthi Peethas. As per Hindu mythology, Goddess Sati gave up her life as a rebellion against her father’s objection to her marriage with Shiva. To honor her death, Lord Vishnu cut her body in several parts which turned into shrines when they fell on earth. These shrines were called Shakthi Peethas and it is believed that her upper lip fell in Mahakaleswar. In Omkareshwar, there was a great war between the Devas (gods) and Danavas (demons), in which the Danavas won. This was a major setback for Devas and hence Devas prayed to Shiva. Pleased with their prayer, Shiva emerged in the form of Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga and defeated Danavas.
