Mahakal Temple ka Itihas (History)
Mahakaleshwar ka ullekh Puranon mein bhi milta hai. Kaha jaata hai ki prachin samay mein Ujjain ko Avantika ke naam se jaana jaata tha aur yahan Mahakal nagar ke rakshak ke roop mein sthapit hue.
Mandir ka vartaman roop Maratha Shasak Rani Ahilyabai Holkar ke dwara 18vi sadi mein punar-nirman karaya gaya tha. Mandir ki shilp kala, unchi shikharein aur gahraai mein sthit Shivling bhakton ko divya anubhav karata hai.
