Grishneshwar Jyotirling Darshan: Maharashtra Yatra-Part 7:

 

सौराष्ट्रे सोमनाथं श्रीशैले मल्लिकार्जुनम्।उज्जयिन्यां महाकालमोङ्कारममलेश्वरम्॥
परल्यां   वैद्यनाथं च डाकिन्यां भीमशङ्करम्।सेतुबन्धे तु रामेशं नागेशं दारुकावने॥
वाराणस्यां  तु  विश्वेशं  त्र्यम्बकं  गौतमीतटे। हिमालये  तु केदारं  घुश्मेशं शिवालये॥
एतानि  ज्योतिर्लिङ्गानि सायं प्रातः पठेन्नरः।सप्तजन्मकृतं पापं स्मरणेन विनश्यति॥

According to Dwadasha Jyotirlinga Stotram, there are twelve Jyotirlings and Grishneshwar Jyotirling is considered to be twelfth. This is located at a village called Verul, which lies 35 km from Aurangabad in Maharashtra and approximately 100 kms from Manmad station.

Grishneshwar Temple is an ancient pilgrimage site of Lord Shiva. It was re-constructed by Ahilyabhai Holkar. The Grishneshwar Temple is also known by several other names like Kusumeswarar, Ghushmeswara, Grushmeswara and Grishneshwar.
