The administration has banned photography and entry of mobile phones inside the sanctum sanctorum at Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain. Ujjain Collector Ashish Singh said that mobile phones had always been banned in the sanctum sanctorum at Mahakal temple. Timely notice was also issued for the same. The last order was issued six months ago when photography was banned again.

"After the inauguration of Mahakal Lok, the number of devotees has increased. Devotees visiting the sanctum sanctorum take selfies and click photos, due to which common devotees have to face many difficulties while having darshan. Now we have been implementing our previous order of ban on photography strictly. Carrying mobiles and photography inside the sanctum sanctorum is completely banned," collector Singh added.
