Siddhanath Temple on Mandhata island has a carved stone elephant frieze about 1.5 m high, which Trawell names as its main attraction. If you are looking up Siddhanath temple Omkareshwar timings, be aware that the two aggregators that list hours (Trawell and Thrillophilia) give different ones. We found no official page (ASI or MP Tourism), so this is a short fact-sheet that separates what sources agree on from what they do not.
Quick facts, with sources
| Item | What we found | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Location | Shiva temple on Mandhata island, Omkareshwar | Sources agree |
| Style | Brahminic and Indo-Nagara (Trawell) | One source |
| Age | Dating varies (11th vs 13th century) by source. Trawell and Holidify say 13th century; a search snippet we did not open says 11th century, Paramara | Sources disagree |
| Protected status | Listed as a protected monument (Trawell) | Aggregator only |
| Main attraction | Stone elephant frieze, about 1.5 m high (Trawell) | One source |
| Entry | Free (Trawell and Thrillophilia) | Two sources agree |
| Hours | 5 AM-6 PM (Trawell) vs 6 AM-8 PM (Thrillophilia) | Sources disagree |
| Distance | About 1 km from the Omkareshwar temple (Trawell) vs 1.8 km from the bus stand (Thrillophilia) | Different reference points |
| Getting there | On foot | Both sources |
Siddhanath temple Omkareshwar timings: how to read the conflict
The listed opening runs from 5 or 6 AM, and closing from 6 to 8 PM. The overlap of the two listings is 6 AM to 6 PM, which is our own calculation from the two ranges, not a published figure. Check on the day: hours and prices change, and neither listing is an official notice.
On the distances
The 1 km and 1.8 km figures are not a contradiction, because one measures from the Omkareshwar temple and the other from the bus stand. Both sources say you need to walk.
What we could not confirm
- Whether an ASI notice board or any ticket applies
- Photography rules
- The best time of day to visit
- Whether the temple lies on the parikrama path
Is it worth a detour?
Going only by the facts above: it is listed as free and about 1 km on foot from the Omkareshwar temple (Trawell), so it fits alongside a visit to Omkareshwar. For temple timings, the route and the wider island, see our Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga guide.
