Is Eklingji a jyotirlinga?
Although as of now it is not consider among the 12 jyotirlings of India according to the Mythology. But the current and power of this temple have forced me to state it as 13th JYOTIRLING. Located just 25 KM from udaipur on the way to ShriNath ji - Nathdwara, the management and cleaniness is beyond expectations.
