Ujjain (Madhya Pradesh) [India], September 5 (ANI): Actor Ashutosh Rana offered prayers at Shri Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain on Friday and sought the blessings of Lord Shiva.

The Mahakaleshwar Temple, situated on the banks of the Shipra River in Ujjain, holds immense religious significance as one of the twelve Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva.
The Bhasma Aarti is one of the most revered rituals at the Mahakaleshwar Temple, performed during the auspicious Brahma Muhurta, between 3:30 and 5:30 AM.
According to temple traditions, the ritual begins with the opening of Baba Mahakal’s doors in the early hours, followed by a holy bath with Panchamrit, a sacred mixture of milk, curd, ghee, sugar, and honey.
The deity is then adorned with cannabis and sandalwood before the unique Bhasma Aarti and dhoop-deep Aarti take place, accompanied by the rhythmic beats of drums and the resonating sound of conch shells.
Devotees from across the country visit the temple to witness this divine ritual, believing that attending the Bhasma Aarti brings blessings and fulfilment of wishes.
Talking about Ashutosh Rana’s work front, he worked in films like ‘Pathaan’, ‘War’, ‘Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania’, ‘Dhadak’, ‘Simmba’, ‘Raaz’, among several others. He is also seen in director Ayan Mukerji’s action thriller film ‘War 2’, which also stars Hrithik Roshan and NTR Jr in the lead roles. (ANI)
