One of the most significant spiritual practices dedicated to Lord Shiva, Bhasma Aarti (offering with ashes), is performed during the auspicious Brahma Muhurta, between 3:30 and 5:30 AM. According to religious beliefs, the wishes of the devotee who participates in the Bhasma aarti are fulfilled.

As per the temple traditions, the ritual begins with the opening of Baba Mahakal’s doors in the early hours, followed by a holy bath with Panchamrit, a sacred mixture of milk, curd, ghee, sugar, and honey.

The deity is then adorned with hemp and sandalwood before the unique Bhasma Aarti and dhoop-deep Aarti take place, accompanied by the rhythmic beats of drums and the resonating sound of conch shells.

Jubin Nautiyal shot to fame with his song ‘Ek Mulaqat’ from the film ‘Sonali Cable’ in 2014. The singer gradually built his diverse discography with the help of memorable hits like ‘Kuch Din (Kaabil), ‘Bawara Mann’ (Jolly LLB 2), ‘Akh Lad Jaave’ (Loveyaatri) and others.

Earlier this month, Jubin also announced his much-awaited India Tour 2025-2026, revealing the scheduled dates and cities. The singer is expected to helm concerts across Indore, Lucknow, Kolkata, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Ahmedabad, Raipur, Chandigarh, Jaipur, and Delhi. (ANI)
