The Amazing India - Mahakaal Lok

Lord Shiva is known as Mahakaleshwar or ‘Lord of time’ and the historic temple in Ujjain worships this form of the Hindu deity. As per Hindu mythology, the construction of the Mahakal jyotirlinga is attributed to Lord Brahma.

The Mahakal Lok corridor, flanked by Nandi Dwaar and the Pinaki Dwaar, is adorned with 93 statues that depict stories revolving around Lord Shiva, such as Shiv Vivah, Tripurasur Vadh, Shiv Puran, and Shiv Tandav Swaroop, as per Indian Express.

The first phase of the Mahakaleshwar Temple corridor development project also includes features like lotus pond, open-air theatre, and lakefront along with various facilities for the visitors.
