Ujjain: Every day thousands of devotees throng to the Mahakaleshwar temple of Ujjain, but on the day of Nagpanchami, devotees wait for a year to see Nagachandreshwar situated in the middle of the peak of Mahakal temple. The reason for this is that this temple opens only once a year on the day of Nagpanchami and on this day millions of people consider themselves blessed by seeing Lord Nagachandreshwar. But this time no devotee could get admission to the temple due to Corona Epidemic.
For the darshan of Nagpanchami day, they used to be in the Shradvalu line from the evening itself. In the desire to get this rare sight of Lord Nagachandreshwar, old, children, women and men all used to wait for many hours, this time the temple was deserted. However, the temple administration has arranged darshan for the devotees through live broadcast.
This time devotees did not get permission to enter
This is the Nag Chandreshwar temple bathed in the bright lights of Ujjain. Which is present at the bottom of the peak of Mahakal temple. Tonight at 12 o’clock the Mahant of the Nagachandreshwar temple reached Vineet Giriji Maharaj to open the doors of the temple. After about an hour of Trikala Puja, the Naga Chandreshwar Temple Aarti was performed in the temple. As the birthday of Lord Nagachandreshwar, this festival is celebrated by millions of devotees every year with joy and full faith, but this time due to the outbreak of Corona epidemic, no devotees were allowed to enter and visit the temple. For this reason, this time the movement of devotees was not seen in the temple.
Live telecast arrangements
This time the temple committee had arranged live darshan through Mahakal app and website.
There is a rare statue of Lord Shiva and Parvati crowned on the remaining serpent in the temple of Nagachandreshwar, built in the middle of the peak of this temple, in the 11th century. About two to three lakh devotees used to come to visit this temple, which opens only once a year, but due to the Corona epidemic, this time devotees did not get the opportunity to see Nagachandreshwar. It is believed that Kalsarp Dosh is prevented by this rare sight of Lord Nagachandreshwar. At the same time, for the peace, happiness, prosperity and progress of the planet, lakhs of devotees offer prayers in the court of Nagachandreshwar.
