    1) SOMNATH TEMPLE, GUJARAT<\/o:p><\/span><\/font><\/b><\/span><\/p>

    Somnath located near Veraval ,\r\nGujarat is considered first and foremost of all Jyotirlings. It is named after\r\nthe Moon (Soma) who worshipped Shiva to get rid of a curse put on him by his\r\nfather-in-law, Daksha. On getting Shiva\u2019s blessings, the moon regained his\r\nlight and this is why this town is also referred to as Prabhas. The original\r\nSomanth temple was built by the moon in pure gold and later rejuvenated by\r\nRavana in silver, by Krishna in sandalwood and finally by Bhimadeva in stone.\r\nThereafter, this temple was raided multiple times by invaders in the medieval\r\ncenturies. The latest temple is made with reddish yellow stones and was\r\ninaugurated by the first Indian President Dr. Rajendra Prasad in 1951.

    5) BAIJNATH Deoghar, Jharkhand<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>

    This is the most disputed\r\njyotirling as there are three places in India whose natives claim that their\r\ntemple houses this jyotirling. During a severe penance, Ravana offered his\r\nheads to Shiva. When he is about to cut off his tenth head, Shiva appears\r\nbefore him and offers him a jyotirling which he can take to Lanka but without\r\nplacing on the ground anywhere on the way. However, he is tricked by Ganesha\r\nand the linga is installed at the same place. The first one is at Deoghar,\r\nBihar that has a huge complex with twenty two temples of different deities\r\namong which Shiva\u2019s is one. The nearest railway station is Jaisidih, seven kms\r\naway on the Patna Howrah route. Parli-Vaijanath near Latur, Mahashtra, is the\r\nsecond one that was constructed by Rani Ahilya Bai Holkar in typical Maratha\r\nstyle architecture and this explains its fort like appearance. The third one\r\nmade in Nagara style is 1000 year old temple in Baijnath town situated in\r\nDhauladhar range of Western Himlaya in Himachal Pradesh. If you love panoramic\r\nhilly landscapes, then take the heritage toy train from Pathankot. As a mark of\r\nrespect to Ravana, people of Baijnath don\u2019t celebrate Dusshera.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>

The story behind this jyotirling goes thus: Shiva took a ferocious\r\nform and reduced the oppressive demon Bhima, the son of Kumbhakarna, to ashes\r\nand remained here in the form of a jyotirling. The area is very scenic and\r\noffers breathtaking beauty, especially the neighboring peak called Nagfani.\r\nConnectivity is not a problem with many state buses plying from Pune every half\r\nan hour.

The temple has been raided many times by invaders but has been\r\nreconstructed time and again. The present Kashi Vishwanath Temple was renovated\r\nby Ahilyabai Holkar, the queen of Maheshwar.
