One of the Mega Project of the State. Will Change the design and route for the temple and will make more development.

Expanded and newly constructed Mahakal Corridor in Madhya Pradesh's Ujjain, which has been designed on the basis of 'Shiv Leela' (108 murals and 93 statues depicting stories related to Lord Shiva), will be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra at 6 p.m. on October 11, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said on Friday. The newly developed area, which is a part of the Ujjain Mahakaleshwar temple has been named "Sree Mahakal Lok", Chouhan said during a video address. He also appealed to the people to participate in the prayer in their homes or at nearby temples. "After Kedarnath and Kashi Vishwanath, it would be a special occasion for Lord Shiva's devotees to witness the extension of Ujjain's Mahakaleshwar temple. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate 'Sri Mahakal Lok' at 6 p.m. on October 11. People visiting here will find a glimpse of Shiva Leela," Chouhan added. Notably, the expansion is being done (first phase completed, two more phases to go) under Mahakal Maharaj Mandir Parisar Vistar Yojna of the Madhya Pradesh government, which includes expansion, beautification, and decongestion of the Mahakaleshwar temple and its adjoining area. 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 an annual footfall in the city from the current 1.50 crore to nearly three crore. One of the aspects of the Vistar Yojna's first phase is a visitor plaza with two entrances or 'Dwaars' -- 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 also 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. The second phase, which will cost around Rs 310.22 crore, 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 facade, and Begam Bagh Road.

Experience the Grandeur, Captivating Beauty, Beautifully Carved Murals, Pure Aesthetic Delight along with Spiritual Journey only at Mahakal Lok or Mahakal Corridor. Splendid place to visit. Just a suggestion that wheelchairs are made accessible for elderly too.

One of the best place here to go , first of all if you want to visit here , try to come in the morning and just add this location to google maps and you will reach here , then just park your car in the parking and walk from the Mahakal coridor and you can also ask E- rikshaws and autos to drop you towards the temple If you have arrived late by 10 Am then yiu shiuld purchase VIP pass of 250 rupees and if you come before 10 then there is no need of VIP pass , you can have darshan IT is best to have darshan in the morning and then visit the night view of Mahakal corridor.

Mahakal corridor must visit place with temple and triveni museum also very good place

Awesome place must visit after Mahakal darshan

Very beautiful place, well maintained. Best time to visit is at the evening to see lighting effect. Still development work is going on. There is electric Vechile arrangement for older people. Must visit if you are in ujjain. Only one request to the management is to keep entry fees for visit(minimum amount) best there are many local people coming and just creating nuisance and gathering crowd.

A place worth visiting. It gives you a amazing feeling once you are in the vicinity. All the statues are beautifully made and it's mesmerizing. You need to walk alot so be ready to enjoy this walk. I would recommend to visit in the evening so you can get the beautiful view.

The place is developed very nicely with beautiful statues lighting temple and foot path. You have a electric vehicle to take visitors around the corridor. NEED GOOD TOILET AND DRINKING WATER FACILITIES A few thousands visit everyday and the one toilet is stinking. Having spent crores this will cost nothing to provide.

Shri mahakal corridor. Cannot describe in words. Visit in evening it will take approx 2 hrs. This will give you peace in mind.

Totally mesmerized by this place, the sculptures, the history behind it and the way it's made. There should be more such places in every spiritual city in India.

Just back side of mahakaleshwar temple and also come from other side also. And the evening time is perfect for seeing mahakal lok because at this time beauty is enhanced by lighting and water fountain it will be more beautiful at evening.

Great corridor. Nicely designed and beautifully decorated corridor having Hindu God Lord Shiva statues. We all feel blessed to visit the Nagri of Mahakal

This is an expansion of Mahakal temple. Newly developed mahakal van. Great place to know about Mahadev & Shiv maha puran.

Ujjain, the ancient city associated with Lord Shiva and King Vikramaditya of Vikram-Betal fame, is situated on the banks of Shipra river. Once upon a time, it had seven major water bodies called Sapt Sagar (seven ponds). The Mahakal Temple is situated near one of the seven ponds called Rudra Sagar.

I love this place Har har Mahadev 🕉️🚩🙏

You can't describe these beautiful place in words. A must watch place in night. Don't miss the opportunity. You feel so amazed after viewing carvings on stone, big size idols, garden, fountains etc.

Stunned to see the beauty of this corridor, beautiful architecture is crafted just perfectly. Lots of statues are present which depict Hindu deities in various forms. Well maintained by the staff, cleanliness is on point. Mahakaal temple entry is through the corridor. Be careful of the time as the corridor is prepared for closing from 9:15pm only, so if you have parked your vehicle in the parking lot it'll be a big round to get your car from the parking lot if you are not careful of the closing time. Overall it was one of a kind experience. I loved this place much.

Amazing place to visit… so aesthetic and lovely.

Beautiful and very scenic view of the newly created way to the Temple of Baba Mahakal. A lot of points where you can feel alive and one hardly can stop themselves by capturing pictures. -It has all new car and bike parking space. its free for both cars and bike but will be costing around 50-100rs in coming future. -It has free locker facility available for Mobile, as you cannot take your mobile through to the main temple. If they will caught you, you may get penalised upto 500 INR. -Shoe stand is available nearby Mobile locker and again it’s free -Washrooms, RO drinking water facilities are also available nearby Mobile locker which is close to Main entrance of Shri Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlingam. - I found temple committee tried their level best in developing new facilities for devotees but it is not being well managed. We can see long queue for mobile lockers and rightly so because of the process which is really safe. They capture details like your name, face, mobile number and number of mobile you are submitting. Even when you will take them back from locker room, they will ask for slip in return and capture photo of the one collecting it.

Amazing and Beautiful Place. Jai Mahakal

One of the best places of worship with sight seeing value. Free entry. It will take two hours. This is only the first phase, second phase work is going on. For those who cannot walk, free golf carts are available. Visit in the evening for wonderful light effects.

Feels like heaven, wonderful art work. Pleasant atmosphere.. har har Mahadev!

Mahakal Corridor is very amazing and amazing to see, Mahakal Corridor captivates you from a distance. Mahakal Corridor is dedicated to Lord Shiva in which all the artefacts and entire life of Lord Shiva are depicted. The view here is very amazing and completely created according to the new era. Earlier, 15 to 20,000 devotees used to come here. Ever since the corridor has been built, around 120,000 devotees come here.
