About - Mangalnath Mandir Ujjain

The Puranas suggest that Mars is considered to be a “child” of Earth, meaning it evolved from our planet. Hindu mythology states that Mangala, another name for Mars, was created when Lord Shiva melted. According to Mahant Ayush Bharti, Mars’ original name is “Ugra.” Astrology is built around twelve zodiac signs, planets, and constellations, with Mars playing a significant role in this system. Mars is said to be honored by Uday, and the Mangalnath Temple, located on the banks of the Kshipra River, is dedicated to him. The holy city of Ujjain, situated at the geographic center of the world, is known for its revered location along a significant energy line. The Mangalnath Temple in Ujjain is a sacred site associated with Lord Shiva.
