Omkareshwar -Shaped like the Hindu symbol, 'Om', Omkareshwar attracts many pilgrims. This once not only holy but picturesque small town is now the site of one of the worlds biggest Dam projects. Most of the ghats also seem to be in the process of redevelopment, all a bit of a mess really.

At the confluence of the rivers Narmada and Kaveri, the devout gather bathe in the rivers, kneel before the Jyotirlinga, and offer their hair as a gesture of surrender and humility. The head is shaved saving a small tail at the crown.
