Significance

In Ujjain, Mahakal is revered as the Lord and the King of the city, and during the sacred months of Shravan and Bhadrapad a sawari (procession) is taken out on Mondays. According to local tradition, Baba Mahakal travels in a palanquin to the Kshipra and through the old city so that his people may have his darshan.

The procession is organised by the temple authorities, and the schedule and route are announced officially each year. We therefore do not compute these dates automatically. If you plan to attend, follow the official notices, arrive early and keep to the public viewing areas. Devotees who cannot come may offer Rudrabhishek on the Mondays of Shravan through an online sankalp.

How it is observed

  • Shravan Monday fast and early morning Shiv pujan
  • Offering water, bel patra and milk on the Shivling
  • Watching the sawari from the public route with devotion and patience
  • Chanting Om Namah Shivaya or the Mahamrityunjay mantra
  • Charity, such as feeding the hungry, in Mahakal ke naam
