MAHAKALESHWAR TEMPLE
The Shri Mahakal Temple, situated in the ancient city of Ujjain on the side of the Rudra Sagar Lake in the state of Madhya Pradesh, continues to be one of the most sacred and outstanding places of pilgrimage for Hindus to date. The resting place of Lord Shiva, the temple is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas, which are considered to be the sacred dwelling place of the Lord. Even in the present era, the temple continues to provide the visitor with an altogether unique and unmatched peace of mind and composure. The Mahakal Temple complex is a spacious courtyard with sculptural finesse and sophistication that is influenced by Maratha, Bhumija and Chalukya styles of structural design and is complete with impressive lingams of Mahakaleshwar, Omkaresvara and Nagachandresvara and images of Ganesha, Kartikeya and Parvati. Several religious festivals and celebrations also take place here every year and are celebrated with great fervor. Other than these, the Bhasma-Aarti of the temple is a ritual ceremony that is a must see for all. All rituals, including Puja-Archana and Abhishekaarati, are regularly performed in the temple all year round. The main festivals celebrated here are:
Nitya Yatra: In this ritual, the participatory devotee, referred to as the Yatri takes a bath in the holy Sipra and then visits Nagachandresvara, Kotesvara, Mahakalesvara, goddess Avantika, goddess Harsiddhi and Agastyeswara for Darshana.
Sawari (Procession): The sacred procession of the Almighty passes through the streets of Ujjain every Monday for some particular periods. The last Sawari that takes place on the dark fortnight of the Bhadrapada especially draws the attention of lakhs of people and is celebrated with great pomp and show. The procession during the Vijayadashami festival is equally exciting and attractive. Darshan early morning is known as BHASMA ARATI where traditional attire is a must.
