Ujjain: The month of Sawan is very important and this month worships Lord Shiva. Now today is the first Monday of Sawan which is considered very important. It is said that Bholenath should be worshipped wholeheartedly on the first Monday of Sawan. Now a large number of people have reached Mahakal and Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga in Madhya Pradesh for the puja today. The world-famous Pashupatinath temple in Mandsaur has also been crowded with visitors since morning. The entry has been made free till 11 am after seeing the crowd of devotees gathered outside the Mahakal temple in Ujjain.

Yes, the entry of devotees into the temple has been stopped after 11 o'clock. Now, at 4 p.m., the Mahakal ride will take place, and it will come back to the temple at 6 p.m. With this, devotees will be able to visit again from 7 pm to 9 pm.
