mahakaleshwar temple

AMN / NEW DELHI

The Supreme Court today refused to interfere with the rituals being observed at the historic Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain while dealing with the issue of protecting the ‘Jyotirlingam’ at the ancient temple. A division bench in its order said that it has neither interfered in the merit nor the religious ceremony of the temple in Madhya Pradesh.

The bench said it has incorporated all suggestions given by parties and the resolution passed by the temple management committee has to be implemented.

The temple, in its resolution, has permitted devotees to use a fixed amount of water measuring 500 ml from RO machine in a small pot per person for ‘Jalabhishek’ (worship by offering water). The bench today warned that its order should not be misinterpreted or misreported by the media.
