Jaleshwar Mahadev: Ujjain's 'Kedarnath of Malwa' Submerged 6 Months Annually
- •Jaleshwar Mahadev, located in Ujjain amidst the Chambal River, is a mysterious ancient Shiva temple.
- •The Shivling is visible for 6 months and remains submerged for the other 6 months, earning it the name 'Kedarnath of Malwa'.
- •During strong currents, the Shivling miraculously moves against the water flow, up to 10 feet from its original spot.
- •Broken idols from upstream rivers accumulate near Jaleshwar Mahadev, unaffected by the strong current.
- •Attempts to construct a roof over the temple have repeatedly failed, leading devotees to believe Mahadev prefers the open sky.
Why It Matters: Ujjain's Jaleshwar Mahadev temple, submerged half the year, showcases unique divine phenomena and attracts devotees.
