Bhasma aarti of Lord Mahakal is performed in Shri Mahakaleshwar temple.

Right now I am in Indore, and Ujjain is only 55 km away from Indore, so this thought came to my mind to have darshan of Bhasma Aarti of Mahakal Prabhu, then I set out towards Ujjain.
Let me tell you that to come to Ujjain, you can come to Bhopal and Indore through air travel. After this, you can come to Ujjain comfortably by taking the bus, rail, and public transport. I started my journey by bike and left Indore at around 2:00 pm on a deserted road and reached Ujjain at around 3:30 pm and without any delay, I took a bath in the Shipra river (temple and river The distance between them is only 600 meters) and immediately Shri Mahakal reached inside the temple for Bhasma Aarti of Lord and merged to see Shri Mahakal’s Bhasma Aarti.
