About Shri Mahakaleshwar

Mahakaleshwar Temple

Located in the ancient city of Ujjain (Madhya Pradesh) — the heart of time and tantra — Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga represents Lord Shiva as Mahakaal, the eternal destroyer of time and ego.

It is the only south-facing (Dakshinmukhi) Jyotirlinga, symbolizing Lord Shiva’s power to dissolve the past, guide the present, and protect the future.

Ujjain is also home to the revered Harsiddhi Shaktipeeth and the fierce Kaal Bhairav Temple, making this destination a rare confluence of Shiva, Shakti, and Kaal energies.

A visit to Mahakaleshwar is not merely a darshan — it’s a soul encounter with time itself, where one learns surrender, faith, and fearlessness.
