Coordinates 23°10′58″N 75°46′6″E
Shri Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, India , is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva , located on the banks of the River Shipra. The presiding deity, Lord Mahakaleshwar, is worshipped as the supreme ruler of time (Mahakaal).
There are two words contained in Mahakal, Maha and Kaal, in Sanskrit maha means “great” and Kaal means “Time and Death” and it is believed Lord Shiva is the God of death and time. Because of this, he is called Mahakaleshwar, and this temple is also known as Mahakal (Mandir) Temple.
The temple is world-famous for its Bhasma Aarti, performed daily in the pre-dawn hours (around 4 a.m.). This extraordinary ritual involves adorning the Shiva Lingam with sacred ash (bhasma), symbolizing the ultimate truth of life — that everything returns to ash.
It is also famous in the country and abroad due to the Simhastha fair (Kumbh Mela) held once in 12 years.
