Sthala Purāṇa tradition
Per the Koṭirudra Saṃhitā of the Śiva Purāṇa, the Vindhya mountain worshipped Śiva here seeking greatness; pleased, Śiva manifested and, at the prayer of the gods and sages, the one liṅga became two — Oṃkāreśvara on the island, and Amaleśvara (Mamleshwar) on the southern bank of the Narmadā. Both together are counted as the single Jyotirliṅga.
