My experience was very powerful. I did not expect it. I am grateful.

Watching the Bhasma Aarti in 3D, I felt I had taken darshan in person. A long-held wish came true.

It felt as if I were sitting right in front of Mahakal, watching the aarti.

My heartfelt thanks to the temple committee for such a fine free live 3D Bhasma Aarti darshan.

Online tickets were not available, so I came for the 3D live. It feels exactly as if you are there.
A devotee from Amritsar
Today I saw the Bhasma Aarti free, live in 3D, for the first time. It was wonderful.

The Bhasma Aarti I saw today made our life worthwhile.

A divine experience. Otherwise you need a ticket, a queue and a lot of protocol.
A devotee from Pune
The first time we watched the Bhasma Aarti live in 3D. We liked it a lot, and the arrangements too.

I have come every month since January, and this was my first darshan in 3D. Come and take it too.

GOOD TO KNOW

Answers to your questions.

Do I need the temple’s Bhasma Aarti permission?

No. Permission is needed only to sit inside the temple, where seats are limited. The screening at the Kendra is open to everyone, free, with the courtesy of Shri Mahakaleshwar Mandir Prabandh Samiti.

Is it the same as being inside the temple?

It is the same aarti at the same moment, seen live from inside the sanctum on a large 3D screen, with the whole hall taking darshan together.

Can children and elders come?

Yes. The hall is on the first floor and devotees sit on the carpeted floor. Come a little early if someone needs a comfortable spot.

Does the Kendra also run VR shows?

Yes, 6 AM–10 PM: the Mahakal Bhasma Aarti and other darshans in 3D and 6D with VR headsets. These are ticketed and booked separately.
