A day in Ujjain

Tripoto
Day 1


I started at Mahakaleshwar Temple.

It's the first tourist attraction place in Ujjain, especially for Hindus. The temple was rushed by lots of 'Bhakti'. There I came to know what the real artistic work is.
The architecture of the temple was so good and attractive. It tells us about the craftsmanship of peoples across different timelines.

Inside the temple there was no hustle-bustle, everything seems silent except chirping of birds. In the temple, there are idols of god and goddesses. On the third floor there is an idol of Naagchandreshwar, where we can only go on Naag Panchami, the only day it is kept open. Inside the temple, you will forget all your worries and feel peace.

After going to the temple I realized that there is a pre-booking system for 'Bhasma-Aarti' darshan. Bhasma-Aarti was their at early morning 5 a.m

For that people start forming a line at midnight as there are hundreds of people in a queue for Bhasma Aarti darshan.

As there is so much crowd.

●There is a kind of VIP entry available for tourists only at Rs. 250/-.

I liked the structure of the temple.

The temple is situated in between Mahankaleshwar temple in the east and Ramghat in the west.

Many lamps and Candles(Diyas) are flamed here which created a tremendous and divine scene. And in fact, if you people don't know let me tell you
