The Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga Temple in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas, which are considered the most sacred abodes of Lord Shiva. The temple is situated on the banks of the holy river Shipra and is a major pilgrimage site for devotees.

The temple is known for its unique feature of having a Swayambhu Lingam, which means the lingam is self-manifested and derives its power from within itself. The temple is also famous for its Bhasma Aarti, a special ritual where the idol of Lord Shiva is bathed with water and covered with ash.
