The Mahakaleshwar Temple is one of the 12 jyotirlings in the country and gets devotees throughout the year. The mega corridor in Ujjain is located around 200 km from the state capital Bhopal. Ahead of PM Modi s visit, Ujjain has been decked up with colourful flags on a large number of lamp posts, while many streets and flyovers have been decorated with lights, including the Hari Phatak flyover that overlooks the new corridor which has turned into a selfie point of sorts for locals.
Visitors from Maharashtra, Gujarat, Dadar and Nagar Haveli, Chindwada, and other parts of Madhya Pradesh among other states have been visiting the temple in the past few days, all thrilled to see the corridor from inside.
