Ujjain Aarti Timings, Ticket Cost, and Booking Procedure
According to mythology, King Ripudamana and King Sanghditya, with the help of Asura Dushan, had been granted the ability to see the invisible by Lord Brahma to aid them in their invasion of Avanti. In response to King Chandrasena’s request, Lord Shiva destroyed every demon by taking on the form of Mahakaal, although he continued to exist here for protection in the future.
Prajapita Brahma built Mahakaleshwar in Ujjain, though the Puranic history of it is still unknown. Mahakaal is known as Bhole Baba by the people of Ujjain.
Since the temple’s roofs are entirely flat, Kalidasa referred to this as “Niketan” in his construction of “Meghdutam.”
The Gupta Dynasty Kings are the ones who look after this temple. The Guptas, Gurjar Pratihars, and Rashtrakutas all paid homage to this revered historic site while ruling Ujjain after the Gupta-Chalukya collapse. Every twelve years, the Simhastha Kumbh Mela is held here.
