On the auspicious occasion of Maha Shivratri, priests performed ‘Bhasma Aarti’ at Mahakaleshwar temple in Madhya Pradesh’s Ujjain. Devotees in thousands lined up to get a glimpse of lord Mahakal and seek his blessings on Mahashivratri. While Shivratri comes once every month, Mahashivratri also known as ‘great night of lord Shiva’ comes once in a year, just before the arrival of Spring season in the month of February or March.
