'''Mandhata''', also called '''Shivapuri''' or Mahismati, Capital of Awanti Mahajanpad '''Omkareshwar''', is a riverine island in the [[Narmada river]] in [[Khandwa district, Madhya Pradesh]], India. [[Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga]] is situated on the southern part of the island. Omkareshwar Mandhata is located on the Mandhata hill on the banks of the [[Narmada]].<br />
<br />
The name "Omkareshwar" is due to the shape of the island, which appears to be [[Om]]. It is about {{cvt|2|km|spell=in}} long and {{cvt|1|km}} wide. Local tradition reveals that [[King Mandhata]] paid homage to [[Shiva]] here and made this holy place his capital.<br />
<br />
This place is situated at a distance of about 10&nbsp;km from [[Omkareshwar Road railway station]] on [[Akola–Ratlam rail line]].<ref>Aitihasik Sthanavali by Vijayendra Kumar Mathur, p. 115</ref><br />
