Ujjain's Nagchandreshwar Temple Opens Annually on Nag Panchami for Devotees
The Nagchandreshwar Temple in Ujjain, located atop the Mahakaleshwar Temple complex, opens only once a year on Nag Panchami for 24 hours. This rare event draws thousands of devotees who participate in special rituals like Bhasma Aarti and Panchamrit Abhishek. The temple, associated with Lord Shiva and serpent king Takshak, holds religious significance for blessings and relief from Kaal Sarp Dosh. Security measures including police deployment and surveillance were implemented to manage the large crowds during the festival.
