The Shri Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga is not just a temple; it is the spiritual heart of India. As one of the twelve Jyotirlingas, it is unique because the idol is Dakshinamukhi (south-facing), representing the Lord of Time and Death. It is believed that the city of Ujjain is ruled not by a king, but by Mahakal himself.

Whether you are trying to book the elusive Bhasma Aarti or looking for the shortest Darshan queue, the Trilok App is your digital gateway to Mahakal.
