Prime Minister Narendra Modi is inaugurating the first phase of the ‘Mahakal Lok’ corridor in Madhya Pradesh’s Ujjain today. The Mahakaleshwar temple in Ujjain is believed to be built in the 6th century AD by Kumarasena. It was redeveloped over the centuries, once in the 12th century AD under Udayaditya and Naravarman, and later by the Maratha commander Ranoji Shinde under Peshwa Bajirao-I, who renovated the temple in the 18th century AD. The Mahakal Path spreads around the ancient Rudrasagar Lake, which finds a mention in Skanda Purana. The lake was becoming a dumping site for sewer effluents and was choking with an overgrowth of water hyacinth. Thanks to the Mahakaleshwar Temple Corridor Development Project, it has now been restored and rejuvenated and brought back from oblivion. According to reports quoting Ashish Pathak, CEO of Ujjain Smart City, “The project takes forward the vision of making Ujjain the central node for promoting religious tourism to connect people with culture and traditions. At the same time, it aims to create livelihood opportunities and contribute to the city’s economy. The scale and the magnanimity of the project is an achievement for Smart City Mission and will inspire many religious cities to scale up and learn from this experience.” The form of Shiva in Ujjain is that of Mahakal — the Lord of Time and Death. Kaal has two meanings in Sanskrit — ‘time’ and ‘death’. The Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga is among the most eminent of the 12 Jyotirlingas in...
