Grishneshwar Temple is situated in the Verul village near Ellora Caves , 11 kms from Daulatabad and 30 kms from Aurangabad , Maharashtra. According to a legend, Shiva, pleased by the selfless devotion of Ghushma, revived her son after he was killed by her own sister, Sudeha. This temple is made in Maratha style and looks extremely beautiful with its red and black stone work. The carvings on the temple walls are intricate and a sight to behold. Grishneshwar Temple is one of the most remote jyotirlings in the interiors of Maharashtra and very few people visit except on holidays and auspicious days. If you wish to perform a puja peacefully, this is the best of all jyotirlings to do so since it is free from large crowds. There are many historical places like Shahaji Raje’s Samadhi, Aurangazeb’s Tomb, Daulatabad Fort and Ellora caves situated near this temple. Best way to reach here is to take a cab from Aurangabad.
