This is the Shikhar (Dome) of the Main Omkareshwar Temple.

Mahakaleshwar temple at Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga is on the first floor has beautiful look of maa narmada.

Siddnath, Gupteshwar and Dhwajeshwar temples are located on the 3rd, 4th and 5th floore of Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga

As to who constructed the temple and when , is all shrouded in mystry.The sanctum sanctorum containing the Jyotirlinga seems to have been originally a small temple of the old construction style, the dome being made of layers of stone slabs and not of circular cut stones. As this temple is too close to the precipitously deep bank of the Narmada to the south, the great extension is of new construction style. This is the reason why the sanctum sanctorum and the main deity are neither in the front of the main door nor below the higher conspicuous Shikhar or the tower of later construction.
