Actor Prince Narula on Saturday offered prayers at Mahakaleshwar temple located in Madhya Pradesh's Ujjain district.
He also participated in the 'Bhasma Aarti' performed here on the occasion and took blessings of Baba Mahakal (Lord Shiva). 'Bhasma aarti' (offering with ashes) is a famous ritual here. It is performed during the 'Brahma Muhurta' between around 3:30 and 5:30 in the morning. According to religious beliefs, the wishes of the devotee who participates in the Bhasma aarti are fulfilled. According to the priest of the temple, following the tradition the doors of Baba Mahakal were opened in the Brahma Muhurta and after that a holy bath of Lord Mahakal was performed with Panchamrit, which included milk, curd, ghee, sugar and honey. Later the Bhasma Aatri was performed along with beating drums and blowing conch shells. Actor Narula told ANI, "I am very happy to visit here. I felt a different energy here today. I prayed to Baba Mahakal to keep me and my family healthy." (ANI)
