Ujjain: The temples were also deserted due to the lockdown. But now the situation is becoming normal. Under the guideline of Unlock-1, preparations are being made to open the temples of the city from June 8. To prevent infection, it is planned to introduce new darshan system in all temples. Devotees will have to book a day in advance to see the Jyotirlinga Mahakal temple. For this, the temple committee will launch the app. Along with this, a toll-free number will also be issued, on which you will be able to book for Darshan by calling.

Apart from this, visitors will be able to go inside the temple from 6.30 am to 8.15 pm. During this time, entry into the sanctum sanctorum will be completely restricted. Devotees will not be able to take the worship materials etc. The entry of devotees to visit Bhasmarti will be restricted. The temple committee will make a decision on this later. In this regard, the temple administrator Sujan Singh Rawat said that the new system will be completely different. Now devotees will not be able to congregate in large numbers at one time. Devotees will be given entry into the temple at different times. For this, the system of booking in advance has been started. Under this, permission has to be taken a day before.

Smartphone users can book darshan through the app. Toll-free number facility will be made available for the devotees who do not use smartphones. Devotees will be able to come to the temple at the appointed time. According to the central government's guideline, there will be a curfew from 9 am to 5 am the next day. Devotees will not be allowed to visit Bhasmarti. Temples can be opened from June 8 under the central government's guideline, but whether or not the Mahakal temple will open on June 8 remains unclear. Officials say that the date will be fixed soon. The number of devotees will also be decided for advance booking. A committee has been formed for this.
