The festival of Raksha Bandhan is celebrated with pomp across the country. The special charm of this festival is visible in the temples too. Devotees of Lord Mahakal visited the Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain on Thursday, to mark the celebrations of the festival. Since it was also the last day of the holy month of Sawan, a large number of devotees reached the temple to witness the Rakhi celebrations at the temple.

A special Rakhi was made on order that was tied to Lord Mahakal. But before the Rakhi was tied, the priests at the temple performed the Bhasma Aarti at 3 AM on Thursday, as per the traditions.
