Under the project, the temple precinct will be expanded nearly seven times. The total cost of the entire project is around ₹850 crore. After Vishwanath temple in Varanasi and the Kedarnath shrine in Uttarakhand, Mahakal temple is the third ‘jyotirlinga’ site to see a major upliftment exercise. The Rs 800-crore Mahakal corridor is four times the size of the Kashi Vishwanath Corridor. What is the Shri Mahakal Lok Corridor? Mahakal Maharaj Mandir Parisar Vistar Yojna is a plan for the expansion, beautification, and decongestion of the Mahakaleshwar temple and its adjoining area in Ujjain district. Under the plan, the Mahakaleshwar temple premises of around 2.82 hectares is being increased to 47 hectares, which will be developed in two phases by the Ujjain district administration. This will include the 17 hectares of Rudrasagar lake. The project is expected to increase annual footfall in the city from the current 1.50 crore to nearly three crores. First Phase: One of the aspects of the Vistar Yojna’s first phase is a visitor plaza with two entrances or Dwaars i.e., the Nandi Dwaar and the Pinaki Dwaar. The visitor plaza can hold up to 20,000 pilgrims at a time. A circulation plan to reduce congestion has also been developed, keeping in mind the entry of visitors into the city and their movement up to the temple. A 900-metre pedestrian corridor has been constructed, connecting the plaza to the Mahakal temple, dotted with 108 murals and 93 statues depicting stories related to Lord Shiva, such as Shiv Vivah, Tripurasur Vadh, Shiv Puran, and Shiv Tandav Swaroop. There are also 128 convenience points, eateries and shopping joints, florists, handicraft stores, etc. along this pedestrian corridor. Second Phase: This includes expansion of the eastern and northern fronts of the temple. It also includes development of various areas of Ujjain city, such as Maharajwada, Mahal Gate, Hari Phatak Bridge, Ramghat façade, and Begam Bagh Road. Buildings in Maharajwada will be redeveloped and connected to the Mahakal temple campus, while a heritage dharamshala and Kumbh museum will be built. The second phase is being developed with funding from Agence Francaise de Development (AFD) under the City Investments to Innovate, Integrate and Sustain (CITIIS) programme

It was really good experience for me to visit this place at the time of evening. Lights and coolness of this place add extra features to this monuments. It is just situated at the back side of the mahakal temple. There is no entry fees for this. You can enjoy with your family and friends. There is also provision of shuttle car for senior citizens to ride all over the mahakal corridor. If you are curious about this then you should visit it. 🛕✨🩵

Mahakal temple is one of the 12 jyotirlinga sites in India. Jyotirlinga sites are considered to be the manifestation of Shiva. Mahakal temple is the only jyotirlinga that faces south. Other sites face east. South is held by religious belief as the direction of death. Mahakaleshwar is worshipped by people to prevent untimely death. This temple is mentioned in several ancient poetic texts that originated in India. It was described in the early part of Meghadutam (Purva Megha), which was composed by Kalidasa in the 4th century. The literature described it as a stone foundation having ceiling rested on wooden pillars. The temple did not have any shikharas or spires before the Gupta period. The temple complex was destroyed in the 13th century Turk ruler Shams-ud-din Iltutmish while raiding Ujjain. The present structure was built by Maratha general Ranoji Shinde in the year 1734.

One of the best park dedicated to Hindu religion. Must visit once in a lifetime. It is in front of Mahakaleshwar temple. Phase 1 is complete till now, phase 2 and 3 are ongoing. There is no entry fee. If you are planning to visit this park, go in the evening as due to lightning effect, it looks awesome. You can easily spend 2-3 hours here. Park covers all the Major gods and related incidents.

Aesthetically beautiful corridor named as Mahakal Lok . Best time to visit here is in evening as lighting makes this place visual treat to eyes. You can visit Mahakaleshwar temple by going through the corridor . Washroom facilities are clean and good hope they maintain it. Environment friendly e cart operated here for senior citizens and person with differential ability.

Amazing place. Very clean and thoughtful. Corridor leads to Mahakaal Jyotirlinga temple and is interpersed with events from Lord Shiva's life. While I visited this during the day, I think it will be an amazing sight to witness this place in the night with all the lights on..

Wonder full ❤️ Amazing development. 4 star's for this Nice Mahakal corridor, Ujjain Madhya Pradesh. But, so much walking results in so much tiered and helpless condition. Staff is totally rude and they have all the facilities only for the Special members on Saturday Sunday. Which has to be change . With some charges please available the carriers for everyone 🙏🏻. Developement is in progress Every statue are awesome Walls shows holy story of lord Shiva. Appreciate 👍🏻. Work is in progress hope all issues will get solved in future.

Went early in the morning, less crowded. Entry to the main Temple was quick. Gets crowded in the afternoon. Coridor is having sculptures showing life events of lord shiva. Beautifully crafter & decorated. Feels like entering in a different world.

Today, I visited Mahakal Lok Ujjain in November 2023. Mahakal Lok is also known and addressed as Mahakal Lok Corridor. Mahakal Lok Ujjain is a place that I would recommend to anyone who is interested in spiritual art and Lord Shiv It is a place that showcases the glory and grace of Lord Shiva, and the ancient heritage and culture of Ujjain. Mahakal Lok Ujjain is a devotional corridor that connects the Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga temple with the Rudra Sagar lake. It is a must-visit place for anyone who wants to experience the rich culture and history of Ujjain, as well as the divine blessings of Lord Shiva. The corridor is 920 metres long and has 200 statues, 108 pillars, and two grand gates. It also has murals and stories from the Shiva Purana, depicting the various forms and legends of Lord Shiva. The corridor was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in October 2023, and it is expected to attract millions of pilgrims and tourists every year.

Excellent

Very beautiful and peaceful place to visit.. with lots of large sculpture.. You can click lots of pictures with God's sculpture.. beautiful Lotus pond with lord Shiva in centre.. Must visit place in the night.. Also, Try VRF for a brief good look at Mahakaleshwar darshan.. There is a small E- car also for free ride for elder people..

Visited in Nov-2023. It's stunning and very beautiful and depicts various events related to Lord Shiva and Family. This place is built adjacent to Mahakal mandir. it's spread out and has lot of small stairs to platforms, so you would have to do lot of walking which is difficult if you are old or have knee problems or have kids who you need to carry. they have battery powered vehicles but they only allow old age and pregnant ladies or ladies with infants which is good but I noticed that many people don't opt this, since that would break and separate the group if group has younger folks. Which is often the case. Pay attention to Little kids so that they do not go out of your sight for their safety. The layout ends at Mahakaal Mandir, so if you are not going inside the Mahakaal temple, you would have to walk back again. In my opinion all passengers should be offered return ferry.

wonderful. giant. extraterrestrial. Lively depiction of the spiritual consciousness of Lord Mahakal. It is a unique effort to connect the newly growing and the coming generation with our spiritual and cultural heritage. Those who planned Mahakal Lok, the architects, the workers who made it a reality, all deserve gratitude. This is a huge Dharmakshetra, come here with enough time. So that all creations can be observed and contemplated.

Place is quite peaceful and everywhere you can see the lord shiva footprints and i have been visiting this temple again and again.

Superb. Blessed with the darshan of Baba Mahakal with the beautiful corridor.

Nice and best creations must visit if you visit to Ujjain. Best management. Visit here by keeping some extra time.

It's serene and looks like Mahakaal actually resides there itself. It's a beauty 😍

I was lost and wanted to be there observing the Majestic beauty of the place. Few things to note: 1. It almost takes 2 hours to visit the area peacefully. 2. You can also enter to the Mahakal Temple from Mahakal Lok. 3. Water and Toilet facilities are available almost at every 200 meters. Enjoy the Spellbound World of Mahakal.

Amazing sculpture built recently. Lord Shiva and their ballad. Must visit places for devotees. It will take around 3-4 hours to visit fully and it might take more time to visit Mahakaleshwar if it is the weekend or some special occassion.
