Security Guards Test Strength of Ujjain Temple Footbridge Ahead of Nag Panchami
Ahead of Nag Panchami, over 300 security guards conducted a safety test by jumping together on a newly built 91-foot footbridge at Ujjain's Mahakaleshwar Temple complex. The bridge, constructed in 2022 with donor support, connects devotees to the Nagchandreshwar Temple, which opens annually for 24 hours and attracts large crowds. The test aimed to ensure the bridge's capacity to handle heavy foot traffic during the festival, with authorities implementing crowd-control measures for the expected rush.
