Devotees believe that by visiting all five Jyotirlingas in Maharashtra, one receives blessings of health, prosperity, and liberation from obstacles. Similarly, the Ashtavinayak temples of Lord Ganesha are considered extremely auspicious, as He is worshipped first before commencing any spiritual activity or venture.
