PM Modi will inaugurate the first phase of the Mahakaleshwar Temple Corridor project on October 11.
Ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan chaired a cabinet meeting on Tuesday with a portrait of the 'Mahakaal' deity taking the centre stage.
"It is Mahakaal Maharaj's government which is the king here... all his servants have come for a meeting on Mahakaal Maharaj's soil," Mr Chouhan said.
'Mahakaal', a reincarnation of Lord Shiva, is traditionally believed to be the king of Ujjain.
PM Modi will inaugurate the first phase of the Mahakaleshwar Temple Corridor project on October 11. The 900-metre corridor will have around 200 statues and murals related to Shiva, Shakti and other religious entities.
