Village in the Aurangabad district of the state of Maharashtra, a few miles from the cave temples at Ellora.
The shrine to the deity Shiva in his guise as Ghrneshvar, the "Lord of Compassion," is located in Velur.
The Ghrneshvar linga is one of the twelve jyotirlingas, a
network of sites deemed especially sacred to Shiva and at which Shiva is
uniquely present.
Shiva is pre sent at this temple in the form of a linga, the
pillar-shaped image that is his symbolic form, and the Ghrneshvar linga is one
of the twelve jyotirlingas, a network of sites deemed especially sacred to
Shiva.
