“Kehte hain Mahakal pehli baar aapke pasandida insaan ke saath hi bulate hain.” ❤️🕉️

Back in 2015, I visited Mahakaleshwar Temple for the first time, with Shashank and a group of friends. We weren’t even dating then. Little did I know that one day we’d return to the same sacred place as husband and wife. ✨

Some journeys are planned. Some are just written by the god himself. 🙏
.
If you’re planning to seek blessings at the Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga, keep these things in mind:

🛕 Plan to go on a weekday. Avoid the weekends and public holidays.
🎟️ You can book sheeghra darshan for Rs 250 on their official website.
✨ Walk through the breathtaking Mahakal Lok Corridor, where every sculpture beautifully narrates stories from Lord Shiva’s life.
🌊 Spend a peaceful evening by the Shipra River, one of India’s holiest rivers.
🎆 End your day with the Light, Sound & Water Show at Mahakal Lok. It’s a beautiful way to experience the history and spirituality of Ujjain.
📍 It happens everyday between 7-8 PM at Rudra Sagar Lake in the Mahakal Lok Corridor. Entry is free.
🪔 Experience the sacred Bhasma Aarti—one of the most unique and powerful Shiva rituals. We attended it on our previous visit, and it’s truly unforgettable. Make sure to book your pass well in advance, as entry is limited and fills up quickly.

Whether you’re visiting for devotion, history, architecture, or simply to experience the divine energy, Ujjain leaves a mark on your heart.

हर हर महादेव! 🔱🙏🏻

♥️ Save and Share it with the person you’d love to visit Mahakal with.

8 years,
Through sunshine and rain.
With every laugh,
And every little pain.
A love that stayed,
A love that grew.
Perfectly ours,
I’d do it all again.

I love you @shashankbafna ♥️
Happy Anniversary 😘

Send this to the person who owes you a proper date. 😌♥️
.
Start slow, end magical ✨

☕ Begin with coffee + desserts at @eekavii .
A cosy start, just how every good date should be. The chocolate croissant here is to die for.

🌅 Then steal a sunset at Sarakki Lake.
Golden hour, quiet walks & conversations that just flow.

🎭 10 mins drive → Ranga Shankara Theatre.
Because nothing beats a live play experience.

🍽️ Quick bite at @anjuscafe 
Don’t skip the sabudana tikki 🤌

There are plays in many languages and the tickets are affordable too.

✨ Sit back. Watch. Feel the art.

🍴Post-play stroll → @gardenbysu

Save this for your next trip to Hampi — you’ll thank me later 👀✨
.
Tucked away on the banks of Tungabhadra River, this hidden spiritual gem is easily one of the most underrated places in Hampi.
.
🛕 Imagine nearly 1000 perfectly carved shivalingas on a single rock — surreal, right?
🛕 The beauty doesn’t stop here… climb up and you’ll find even more stunning carvings.
🛶 Getting here is half the adventure — a 10-minute coracle boat ride + a short scenic hike.
🧭 Your boatman doubles up as a guide, making the experience even more special.
💸 Approx. ₹1000 per person for the entire experience.
⏳ Plan around 2 hours for the full visit.
🌅 Go in the evening — the sunset here is pure magic.
.
📍 Sri Kotilinga Temple

Send this to your travel gang. ✈️

Read the caption for the location.👇🏻
.
Last evening in Udupi, and it gave us the kind of sunset you don’t forget.
This trip wasn’t the easiest — I was unwell and spent almost two days indoors. But somehow, this moment made up for all of it.

A quiet delta point, water stretching out on three sides, and the sun melting right in between, like it saved the best for the end.

If you’re ever in Udupi, do not miss this one 🤍
