Devotional singer Lakhbir Singh Lakha offers prayers at Ujjain's Mahakaleshwar temple, says I am very lucky

Devotional singer Lakhbir Singh Lakha offers prayers at Mahakaleshwar Temple during Shravan, calls himself lucky for Baba Mahakal's blessings.

"It was Baba Mahakal's call that I came here today - Lakhbir Singh Lakha"

Ujjain, July 22

Popular devotional singer Lakhbir Singh Lakha visited Mahakaleshwar Temple in Madhya Pradesh's Ujjain on Tuesday to offer prayers, coinciding with the holy month of Shravan.

Visuals from the temple premises show the singer entering, surrounded by his team and temple authorities.

He also took part in the rituals and sought blessings at the shrine.

Speaking to ANI, Lakha expressed his joy of having the opportunity to visit the temple during the auspicious days of Shravan.

"It was Baba Mahakal's blessings that I got to visit the temple in this holy month. I consider myself very lucky. I believe Mahadev has always been pleased with me since I was a kid. It was Baba Mahakal's call that I came here today," he said.

The singer also heaped praise on the Madhya Pradesh government and the Centre for developing the shrine.

"I have been to the temple in the past, nearly 2-3 years back, but there was not much development. Now I am happy. The arrangements are quite good and I hope they will maintain them in the future," Lakha added.

The singer also said that he prayed for peace and harmony in the country.

Lakhbir Singh Lakha's visit to the Mahakaleshwar Temple comes at a time when devotees recently observed the second 'Shravan Sombar' on Monday, July 21. The shrine has been attracting a huge footfall since the holy month began.

Considered as the most auspicious period in the year, Shravan is dedicated to Lord Shiva. Devotees observe fasts, offer prayers, and participate in devotional events. Every Monday of this month is marked with great reverence.

This year, Shravan commenced on July 11 and will conclude on August 9.

While I appreciate his devotion, I wish he had spoken more about the actual spiritual experience rather than praising the government's development work. Temples are about connecting with the divine, not infrastructure.

Mahakaleshwar during Shravan is pure bliss! 😍 Been there last year and the aarti is magical. Good to see celebrities setting examples by participating in our traditions. Hope this inspires more youth to connect with our culture.

As someone from Ujjain, I'm so proud to see our Mahakal temple getting recognition! The Rudrabhishek during Shravan is truly special. But visitors should also respect the temple rules - saw many VIPs breaking queue rules last week.

Beautiful to see unity in diversity! A Sikh artist visiting a Hindu temple shows the real India we all love. More power to such examples of harmony. Har Har Mahadev! 🙌

The temple development is indeed impressive, but I hope they're also maintaining the ancient architecture and spiritual atmosphere. Sometimes too much commercialization affects the sacredness. Still, blessed to have such powerful temples in India!
