Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga Temple
Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga Temple in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas dedicated to Lord Shiva, located on the banks of the Shipra River. It is notable as the only Jyotirlinga facing south (Dakshinamukhi) and for its Bhasma Aarti ritual. The present structure, with Maratha, Bhumija and Chalukya architectural influences, was rebuilt in the 18th century and is a major pilgrimage centre.
