All about 12 Jyotirlinga Temples in India

Lord Shiva, in Hinduism, is regarded as a ‘Supreme’ deity! As per religious textbook, Shiva Mahapuran, once Lord Brahma and Vishnu went to war in to prove their supremacy over the one other. To sort this issue, Shiva formed a huge pillar of light asked the two to find the end of the light. Brahma chose to go upwards in the direction of light and Vishnu chose to go down. Much later, both appeared in front of Shiva and Vishnu accepted his defeat but Brahma chose to lie and said he found the end of light. This angered Shiva and he cursed Brahma that no one will ever pray to him ever. This pillar, later came to be known as Jyotirlinga.
