Mangalnath Temple

A hilltop Shiva temple regarded as the mythological birthplace of the planet Mars.

Mangalnath Temple sits on elevated ground overlooking the Shipra River and holds astrological importance as the believed birthplace of Mangal, the planet Mars, in Hindu tradition. Priests here specialize in poojas for Mangal Dosha, drawing devotees born under astrologically sensitive signs from across the region. Beyond its spiritual significance, the hilltop location offers one of the better panoramic views of Ujjain, making it a worthwhile stop for both pilgrims and travelers interested in the city's astrological heritage.
