Shri Grishneshwar Temple
Overview
Ghṛṣṇeśvara at Verul, beside the Ellora caves, closes the stotra's list of the twelve Jyotirliṅgas. The Government of Maharashtra's tourism portal records the temple; its managing trust has not yet been verified from an official source.
Sthala Purāṇa tradition · sacred narrative
Per the Koṭirudra Saṃhitā, the devout Ghuśmā worshipped Śiva daily with a hundred and one liṅgas; when her son was slain and cast into the tank, her unbroken worship moved Śiva to restore him to life. At her prayer the Lord remained there for ever as Ghuśmeśvara — Ghṛṣṇeśvara.
