Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s wife Jashodaben reached Ujjain on Monday morning and offered prayers to Lord Mahakal at the world-famous Mahakaleshwar Temple.
She visited the temple along with some other persons, said to be family members. She offered prayers from the Nandi Hall outside the sanctum sanctorum.
On reaching the temple, Jashodaben entered on foot from the Neelkanth gate. She then boarded an E-cart to reach the main worship area.
On receiving information about her arrival, a large number of police personnel rushed to the spot and escorted her. Police and temple security also remained present inside the Nandi Hall, while Jashodaben offered prayers.
This was not Jashodaben’s first visit to the Mahakaleshwar Temple. She has come here earlier too and paid obeisance.
Jashodaben is known to be an extremely religious person, and she continuously visits temples and other places of religious interest across the country.
