Indian cricketers and athletes have been visiting the Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain to participate in religious rituals.

Initially, cricketer Rinku Singh attended the Bhasma Aarti, noting that he “felt very good” and “feel blessed after seeing Mahakal Ji” following the ceremony. 

Following India’s T20I victory against the West Indies in Indore, which placed the team 2-1 ahead in the series, other members of the cricket squad, including Kuldeep Yadav and Tilak Varma, visited the temple on a Monday morning to offer prayers. Head coach Gautam Gambhir also attended the temple to seek blessings for the team and the nation. Other athletes, such as hockey player Vivek Sagar Prasad, were also reported at the site. During these visits, the temple held its traditional Bhasma Aarti, featuring rituals such as Panchamrit Abhishek and special decorations for the deity.
