About this work

This stunning panorama boldly places the sacred Narmada River in the middle and foreground. Raja Deen Dayal forces the viewer’s eye to journey between the left-hand island with Omkareshwar Temple, an important pilgrimage site that is one of 12 revered Jyotirlinga shrines of Shiva, and Mamleshwar, a shrine to Shiva on the river’s south bank, which is on the mainland.
