It is very scenic here. People from all over the world visited the ashrams here. Our interest was mainly in the Jyothir lingam of Mahabaleswar.

The other Temples here are of Gokul, Annapoorna, Chintamani Ganesh, Krishna Balaram and Sudama's Vidya peetham and Mahakali Guha (this Guha was closed - we did not see).
Annapoorna's Temple compound was huge with many small shrines of Shankara, Vinayaka, Hanuman, kalabhairava, Visweswara and so on. Same form with different names.
Dedicated to the goddess Annapoorna, this temple is one among the famous pilgrimage centers in Indore. Not only devotees, but also tourists come to see this majestic shrine. This temple resembles that of Meenakshi Temple of Madurai.
The Pravachan Hall of the temple is also very famous. Four full sized elephants embrace this temple’s gate. Sculptures around are of great artistic value. There are gigantic sculptures of Dasaavatarams.
There is a large kund associated with this Temple, but it was dry and filled with garbage.
After darsans, we proceeded to Omkareswar.
