JAI SHRI MAHAKAL
“ BAM –BAM BHOLE”
Friends..
I got opportunity to take blessing of “Lord Shri Mahakaal” in the year 2019. I have travelled to Ujjain with one of my office collogue Shri Inderjeet Singh . Actually this was our official tour to “Ujjain” we were gone there to participate in “Ujjain Book Fair-2019” on behalf of our organization .
But I thought that was the call of “Shri Mahakaal” for his “darshan”. It was a very pleasant experience when we visit the Ujjain. Ujjain is a very holy and noise free city peoples are very cooperative. I remember that tour to my lifetime…
In this article I am going to tell our complete journey of “Ujjan City”. And guide you if you visit Ujjain on which places you have to visit in the City of Bhagwan Shri Mahakaleshwar. What are the precautions you have to taken before plan your journey to Ujjain City. So let’s start:

Our Journey to Ujjain City: Our Journey

hours. On that particular day which day we were going to Ujjain the train got
1-2 hours late due to heavy rain issues and we landed to “Nagari of

met Prof. Jagdish Sharma Ji a
very humble gentlemen. He him side asked us to take very special Bhasam
Aarti at Shri Mahakal Temple. Before that we had tried very much for taken
place in Bhasam Arti but failed. Prof. Saab met us one of his brilliant student
Dr. Anil Junwal Ji who was working in IG Ujjain office on a very reputed
position. Dr. Anil Ji is a very intelligent

Aarti”. And on the 7 day’s night around 1am in night we both had taken bath
in holly water of “Maa Shipra” and went to premises of Shri
Mahakaal Temple to taken part in “Bhasam Aarti” . When we reached the
premises we have take wear the special dress to participate for “Bhasam Aarti”.
Because there was a dress code for Gents & Ladies as well. Gents have to
wear “Dhoti” in ujjaini style only and Ladies have to wear “Saari”
only after that dress code anybody can take part in “Basam Aarti”. We were ready to taken part in Basam Aarti
now, Around 3.00AM entries were started for Shri Mahakal Mandir Bhasam Aarti
. and we both entered in Sanctum sanctorum of the temple done “Jalabhishek”
to Shiva’s Linga and found myself lucky to able to touched the Shiva Linga. After
“Jalabhishek” we sit just outer of Sanctum sanctorum to take very special holly
“Basam Aarti” the priests of the temple arrived and started the Basam
Arti. It was just incredible and unbelievable experience to taken Basam Aarti.
After the Aarti we went to hotel and to venue. It was just amazing experience.
Day-8:( darshan of place where Sihansth Kumbh happens & Maa BaraKhamba temple) :
On the 8th day of our stay we visited the place where “Sihansth Kumbha” happens it is happens once in every 12 years. We take holly bath there and went to” Maa Barakhamba temple” taken the blessing of Maa Barakhamba and went back to Hotel and to venue.

It was just amazing
experience guys. If you ever travel Ujjain please take following precautions:
·
If you want to take part in Holly Basam
Arti please pre-book for the same online. Because if you not do so you have
to book offline. Offline way is very
difficult because there was huge rush for booking and you have to stand in
queue some times more then 5-6 hours to book your sit in “Basam Aarti” .
That was my journey to
Ujjain City. Hope you will enjoy the article. Thanks for reading
