Grishneshwar Temple (Ghrishneshwar)

Grishneshwar Temple near Ellora Caves in Aurangabad is the last (12th) of the 12 Jyotirlingas and the closest Jyotirlinga to the world-famous Ellora Cave temples (just 1 km away). Built in red stone in the classical South Indian style, the temple was reconstructed by Ahilyabai Holkar of Indore in the 18th century. The temple features 24 pillars beautifully carved with scenes from Hindu mythology and five rows of figures including Gods, animals, and floral designs. The Shiva Lingam here is one of the smaller Jyotirlingas.
