Mahakal

Mahakal, meaning "Great Time" or "Lord of Time," is a revered form of Lord Shiva in Hinduism, symbolizing the ultimate reality and the cosmic force that governs creation, preservation, and destruction. Often associated with the Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga in Ujjain, Mahakal embodies the concept of impermanence and the eternal cycle of life and death. Devotees seek his blessings for liberation (moksha) and protection from mortality’s fears. As a supreme, all-encompassing deity, Mahakal represents the unending flow of time and the divine truth underlying the universe.
