Jyotirliṅgeśvara (ज्योतिर्लिङ्गेश्वर) is the name of a Liṅga (symbolical manifestation of Śiva) that is associated with the Yoga-tīrtha (a sacred bathing place). It represents the thirty-fourth of the sixty-four siddhaliṅgas mentioned in the Nepalese Tyasaphu (a folding book or leporello). At each of these spots Śiva is manifest as a Liṅga. Each of these liṅgas (e.g., Jyotirliṅga-īśvara) has its own specific name, mantra, set of rituals and observances, auspicious time etc.

The auspiscious time for bathing near the Jyotirliṅgeśvara-liṅga at the Yoga-tīrtha is mentioned as “phālguṇa-śukla-tṛtīyā vaiśākha-pūrṇimā” (latin: phalguna-shukla-tritiya vaishakha-purnima). This basically represents the recommended day for bathing there (snānadina).
