Jyotirlinga Guide

All twelve jyotirlingas on one map

The twelve run from Kedarnath in the Himalaya to Rameshwaram in the south, and from Somnath on the Gujarat coast to Deoghar in Jharkhand. Switch the projection with the buttons on the map, then filter to a region to see which temples can share one trip.

Coordinates and nearest transport

The pins sit on the temple town, not the exact gate. Every row links to the guide for that temple.

How the map is built

Tiles

OpenFreeMap's Liberty style over OpenStreetMap data, loaded straight from the tile host. No tracking key, no account.

Pins

Each pin is a navy square with the temple's number in the stotram list, the same number as in the list. The number is a hymn order, not a visiting order.

When tiles fail

The list beside the map still works offline, and the table below carries every coordinate.
