Singer Arijit Singh on Sunday visited the revered Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, where he participated in the sacred rituals along with his wife.

The couple participated in the early morning Bhasma Aarti, one of the temple's most revered ceremonies, known for its spiritual significance.

The 'Tum Hi Ho' singer was seen immersed in devotion as he donned an orange kurta and applied a chandan tilak on his forehead. His wife, dressed in a traditional red saree, accompanied him throughout the ritual.

The Mahakaleshwar Temple, situated on the banks of the Shipra River, is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas in India and holds immense spiritual significance for Lord Shiva devotees.

It attracts pilgrims throughout the year, with the Bhasma Aarti being a highlight, particularly during auspicious occasions such as Mahashivratri and the month of Shravan.

The Bhasma Aarti takes place during the Brahma Muhurta, which falls between 3:30 am and 5:30 am. As part of the ritual, the temple doors are opened, and Baba Mahakal is bathed with Panchamrit, a sacred mixture of milk, curd, ghee, sugar, and honey.

Following this, the deity is adorned with cannabis and sandalwood before the Bhasma Aarti begins. The sounds of drums and conch shells add to the grandeur and sanctity of the ceremony.

For devotees, participating in the Bhasma Aarti is believed to fulfil wishes and invoke blessings from Lord Shiva. (ANI)
