Mandhata, River island at Narmada River, Madhya Pradesh, India.

Mandhata Island stretches two kilometers in length and one kilometer in width, forming a natural formation in the Narmada River of Madhya Pradesh.

The island functioned as the capital of Avanti Mahajanpada during ancient times and received its name from King Mandhata of the Ikshvaku dynasty.

The Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga temple, situated on the southern section of the island, represents one of twelve sacred Shiva shrines in Hindu tradition.

Visitors reach the island through boats or the connecting bridge from Omkareshwar Road railway station, located ten kilometers from the main entrance.

The natural configuration of Mandhata Island forms the shape of the Sanskrit letter Om, with the Narmada River flowing around its perimeter.
