The Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain has unveiled a 3D virtual viewing option for the bhasma arati, allowing thousands of devotees who cannot attend in person to experience the ritual from afar.
The Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain has launched a 3D virtual viewing service for the bhasma arati, a sacred ritual that involves sprinkling sanctified ash over the deity.
Bhasma arati is a key part of the daily worship at the temple, traditionally performed inside the garbhagriha and the Nandi hall. Due to limited space and a high number of devotees, only a small group can witness the ceremony in person each day.
The new 3D platform allows millions of devotees to watch the ritual live from their homes, bridging the gap between faith and technology. The temple has partnered with a local tech firm to stream high‑definition footage and interactive 3D views.
Devotees can access the service through the temple’s official website and mobile app, where they can select the desired time slot and view the ceremony in real time. The initiative has been welcomed by religious leaders and tech experts alike.
