Kal Bhairav Temple
Temple of Ujjain’s guardian deity, famous for the tradition of offering liquor to Lord Kal Bhairav.
Kal Bhairav is considered the kotwal (guardian) of Ujjain, and a visit to Mahakal is traditionally followed by darshan here. The deity is offered liquor, which the priests pour into the idol’s mouth—a ritual that has fascinated visitors for centuries.
Visiting tips
- Combine with Mangalnath and Sandipani Ashram on the same route.
