The Mahakal temple administration in Ujjain has announced a unique initiative to utilize the weekly sawari of Lord Mahakal to promote social and environmental causes.

The administration aims to use this platform to raise awareness and promote these causes among the devotees and the general public. The sawari is a significant event in the Mahakal temple, where the deity is taken out in a procession on Mondays.
