Ujjain (Madhya Pradesh): Devotees visiting Baba Mahakal will now have an easier and more convenient way to reach the temple. Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav will inaugurate the newly constructed Rudrasagar Bridge in Ujjain today (Saturday). Built at a cost of ₹22.5 crore, the bridge is 200 meters long and 9 meters wide.

The bridge has been constructed to minimize walking distance for devotees visiting Mahakal Lok. It will serve as a direct link between the main parking area and Mahakal Lok, making access much smoother. Additionally, devotees will be able to enjoy the Light & Sound Show from the bridge.

A Direct Path to Mahakaleshwar Temple
With the increasing number of devotees, the Smart City project has undertaken the construction of this bridge over Rudrasagar to provide a direct route to the Mahakaleshwar Temple via Shakti Path. Once inaugurated, devotees will be able to use the bridge for seamless movement between the parking area and the temple.

A Convenient Addition for Mahashivratri Festival
Municipal Commissioner Ashish Pathak stated that the bridge will be highly beneficial for devotees during the Mahashivratri festival, as the number of Shiva devotees continues to rise. In response, multiple entry gates are being developed at the Mahakaleshwar Temple, and this bridge is an important part of that expansion.

He further mentioned that the bridge has been constructed using Bansi Paharpur stone, known for its strength and durability. The lighting on the bridge has been designed in alignment with Mahakal Lok’s aesthetic, enhancing its grandeur. The bridge can accommodate over 1,000 devotees at a time.

Grand Lighting Ceremony by CM Mohan Yadav
In the evening, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav will press a button to illuminate both Mahakal Lok and the bridge, creating a mesmerizing spectacle. The Rudrasagar Bridge will serve as a new entrance to the Mahakaleshwar Temple via Shakti Path, making the journey more accessible and convenient for all devotees.
