Grishneshwar Temple, Velur
Grishneshwar Temple is at Verul at a distance of 11 kms from Daulatabad. This place is close to another historic place Ellora Caves. This temple dedicated to Lord Shivaand it is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas.
This ancient temple was re-constructed several times, once in the 16th century by Maloji Bhosale of Verul, and later by 18th century by Ahilyabai Holkar.
The tower of the temple is beautifully carved with lovely sculptures. As it was a special day when we visited the temple there was huge rush. Hence I could not go close to the temple.
