Omkareshwar is situated on the Mandhata hills in Madhya Pradesh, known in ancient times as Shivpuri.  The temple dates back to the Krita Yuga.River Narmada flows here around the Mandhata hill in the form of an Om (Omkaram).The Omkareshawar temple  is built in the North Inidan style of architecture.

But without hindering Shiva devotees.But the Vindhyas did not stop growing, and even obstructed the sun and the moon.  Sage Agasthya subdued its growth by saying it should not grow till he gets back there. He never went back & hence the growth was arrested.

As per the Shiv Puran,two sons of the Sun-Dynasty(Surya-Vansh) Mandhata,Ambarish and Mucchkund performed severe penance and pleased Lord Shiva.They also performed many devotional activities and religious sacrificeshere,due to which the mountain was named as Mandhata.

Another popular legend says that once upon a time Vidhya Parvat practiced severe penance and worshipped Parthivarchana along with Lord Omkareshwar for nearly six months. As a result Lord Shiva was pleased and blessed him with the desire boon.
