🕉️ Mahakaleshwar Temple Ujjain: The Heart of Spiritual India

🌟 Why Mahakaleshwar Temple is So Special

Mahakaleshwar Temple is one of the most powerful 12 Jyotirlingas in India.
The word “Mahakal” means the God of Time and Death — Lord Shiva here protects not just life, but time itself. 🕉️

The temple is famous because the lingam (shivling) is Swayambhu (self-manifested) — not made by anyone, but appeared by itself!
Also, Mahakaleshwar’s Bhasm Aarti (ashes ceremony) is one-of-a-kind in the world.

Thousands of devotees daily come here to seek blessings, perform pooja, and feel divine energy. 🌸✨
