Actress Bhumi Pednekar visited Ujjain’s Mahakaleshwar Temple before Diwali to seek Lord Shiva's blessings. The temple, a south-facing Swayambhu Jyotirlinga, is steeped in legends from the Shiva Purana and rituals like the early-morning Bhasma Aarti. It symbolizes Shiva as Mahakal, the protector and lord of time, central to Ujjain’s spiritual and cultural heritage.
