The Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain has taken a giant leap towards digital devotion with online bookings for its prestigious Sandhya and Shayan Aartis. This development promises to revolutionize how millions of Shiva bhakts engage in these pivotal evening ceremonies.
Announced by the temple management, the system prioritizes ease and equity. Devotees no longer need to worry about on-site availability; a few clicks from anywhere secure their place in the sacred circle.
Daily schedules are clear: Register for Sandhya Aarti from midday, and Shayan Aarti from late afternoon on the dedicated platform. At Rs 250 a head, it’s accessible and akin to expedited darshan charges. Purely FCFS—first come, first served.
Access is streamlined through Entry Gate 1, mandating arrival by 6 PM for Sandhya and 10 PM for Shayan. Parallel darshan paths remain active, ensuring broad access to Baba Mahakal’s darshan for all.
This digital upgrade is part of Ujjain’s push for smarter temple management, reducing crowds at peak rituals and enhancing overall pilgrim satisfaction. It’s a testament to how tradition evolves with technology, offering a more intimate and organized worship experience.
As bookings go live, the temple anticipates heightened participation, solidifying Mahakaleshwar’s status as a beacon of spiritual innovation.
