Twelve geographic nodes.
One regressed spiral.
A least-squares logarithmic regression on the published coordinates of the twelve Jyotirlingas, centred at the calculated coordinate centroid in the Narmada River basin. The fitted spiral is extrapolated to test where it intersects independently-located global geological / cultural nodes.

The equation is a least-squares fit, not a derivation from first principles. R² > 0.9 in log-space says the twelve sites lie close to a single logarithmic-spiral trajectory — which is non-trivial but not, by itself, a claim of intentionality.
The interesting question is whether the residuals |Δr|/r for independently located global nodes (Kailash, Fuji, Shasta, Giza, Angkor, Mid-Atlantic Ridge) cluster as tightly as the residuals for the original twelve. If yes, the regression is doing better than chance. If no, the global-grid extrapolation needs to be retracted.
