Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga is one of the most revered temples dedicated to Lord Shiva in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, India. It is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas, which are considered to be the holiest Shiva temples. The temple is situated on the banks of the sacred river Shipra and is renowned for its unique architecture and spiritual significance. The lingam of Mahakaleshwar is believed to be Swayambhu, meaning it is self-manifested, deriving its Shakti (power) directly from within itself. The temple complex houses the main shrine along with several smaller temples, and it is a significant pilgrimage destination, especially during the festival of Mahashivaratri when thousands of devotees gather to offer their prayers.
