The distance from Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad) to Grishneshwar Jyotirlinga Temple is 30 km by road via the Aurangabad–Ellora Road (NH-52 link). A taxi covers it in 45 to 55 minutes in normal traffic; add 15 minutes on Mondays, Shravan Somwar and Mahashivratri when the Ellora stretch gets busy. There is no toll on this route. The temple sits 1 km from Ellora Caves, so most travellers do both in a single half-day trip.
By road the route is: Sambhajinagar city → Daulatabad Fort (15 km) → Khuldabad (24 km) → Ellora / Grishneshwar (30 km). State buses take about 1 hour 20 minutes with stops; a private cab is the faster option if you want the 5:30 AM aarti. Grishneshwar to Ajanta Caves is a further 100 km, which is why the two are usually booked on separate days.
Grishneshwar Temple (also known as Ghrishneshwar or Ghushmeshwar) is the 12th and last of the sacred 12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva . Located 30 km from Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar near Ellora Caves, the temple was built by Queen Ahilyabai Holkar and features exquisite red stone carvings.
