• Ujjain's Mahakal Jyotirlinga, third among 12, celebrates Shiv Navratri for 10 days (Feb 6-15) instead of Shivratri.
• Lord Mahakal will appear in different forms daily, a unique tradition distinct from other Jyotirlingas.
• The festival begins on February 6 with Panchabhishek and worship of Kotishwar Mahadev, Lord Veerabhadra, and Rameshwar Bhagwan.
• Daily adornments include new clothes, ornaments, and specific Shringars like Sheshnag, Ghatatop, Chhabina, Holkar, Man Mahesh, Uma-Mahesh, and Shiv Tandav.
• On the final day, February 15, Lord Mahakal will give darshan in the Saptadhan mask, followed by continuous darshan for 44 hours on Mahashivratri.
