class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dedicated to Lord Shiva, the temple is situated on the banks of the holy river Shipra. The Jyotirlinga is one of the 12 famous Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva. This Shiv temple is one of the main ten Tanta Temples on the planet. People believe that Lord Shiva resides here in the form of a lingam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/shivshankartirthyatra.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Mahakaleshwar.jpg\" alt=\"Mahakaleshwar\" class=\"wp-image-778\" style=\"width:456px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shivshankartirthyatra.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Mahakaleshwar.jpg 800w, https:\/\/shivshankartirthyatra.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Mahakaleshwar-480x240.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 800px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Devotional_Bliss\"><\/span><strong>The Devotional Bliss<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Believing something is the key to release yourself from any doubt. Hence, the devotion of people is just like that. Who comes to this temple every day. Devotees believe that if you pray with your pure heart and mind to the lord if you worship him with your soul. Then they will release you from all the sufferings of your life once and for all. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mahakaleshwar_Jyotirlinga\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mahakaleshwar<\/a> does not only reside in Ujjain but the heart of every human being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Jyotirlinga\"><\/span><strong>The Jyotirlinga<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The literal meaning of Jyotirlinga is \u2018pillar of light.\u2019 The Stambha symbolizes that there is no beginning or end. The story about the linga is older than the time itself. There was an argument that went off between Lord Brahma and Lord Vishnu about who was the supreme god. At that time, Lord Shiva came into the sight in a shape of an endless glowing pillar and asked each of the gods to find the end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Neither of them was able to find the end. On the one side, Lord Narayan told the truth that this pillar is endless. But, on the other side, Lord Brahma lied to Lord Shiva and made him furious. Lord Shiva cursed Lord Brahma for the lie and blessed Lord Vishnu for the truth. The legend states that the places where the pillar of light fell are where the Jyotirlinga is located.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"History_of_Mahakaleshwar_Jyotirlinga\"><\/span><strong>History of Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, what lies in the book of time and history that tells us about this great temple? The legend states that there was a boy named Shrikar. Who witness Chandrasena, Monarch of Ujjain, worshipping Lord Shiva all day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Impressed by his true devotion towards Lord Shiva, the boy placed a stone and started worshipping Shiva considering, that stone as a linga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Individuals felt that this resembled a game that the little kid was playing. As his devotion expanded each day, Lord Shiva accepted the Jyotirlinga structure and lived in the Mahakal forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was another legend that shares the story of a demon Dushana. The demon assaulted all the people of Avanti. The moment when there was destruction going on everywhere, Lord Shiva appeared and rescued the people of the village by defeating that demon. Then, all the people of Avanti requested Lord Shiva to stay in their village. Upon the request of the people, the supreme Lord took a permanent abode as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/shivshankartirthyatra.com\/12-jyotirling\/mahakaleshwar-temple.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_The_Best_Time_To_Visit_The_Mahakaleshwar_Temple\"><\/span><strong>What Is The Best Time To Visit The Mahakaleshwar Temple<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not about the time but the day.
