So seeing them together at Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain before their new show Mere Krishn gives whole thing very devotional feeling .
On June 22,2026,the actors visited Mahakaleshwar Temple,which is revered as one of twelve Jyotirlingas and is among most important places for Hindu devotees . Not small thing ah,because this temple attracts pilgrims year-round and carries deep faith for many people.
They also participated in sacred Bhasma Aarti and sought blessings for upcoming theatrical production Mere Krishn . For actors connected so closely with mythological roles,this kind of visit feels more personal than promotional only .
Inside temple's sanctum sanctorum,they performed traditional rituals and spent time in spiritual atmosphere there . Arpit Ranka said devotees are drawn to Baba Mahakal’s court by divine will,which honestly shows how seriously he took this visit.
Sourabh Raaj Jain also shared his feeling after Bhasma Aarti,saying,“The experience of Bhasma Aarti cannot be described in words. The feeling one gets from coming here and seeing Mahakal in person is extremely blissful.”
Few things clearly stand out here:
- Mahakaleshwar Temple is known as third Jyotirlinga and draws devotees from across country .
- Mere Krishn explores spiritual journey of Lord Krishna through theatre,music,and dance.
- Sourabh Raaj Jain plays Lord Krishna,Pooja Sharma plays Radha,and Arpit Ranka plays Duryodhan .
Mere Krishn will show Lord Krishna's life,including childhood in Vrindavan and epic tales of Mahabharata . Show is also touring various cities across India,including Mumbai,Bengaluru,and Hyderabad,so this temple visit naturally adds one emotional layer before performances .
And tbh,this connection between stage and spirituality feels very Indian in best way . When actors playing such powerful mythological characters go to Mahakaleshwar Temple on banks of Kshipra River,it does make people think about how performance and faith keep meeting again and again…
But at same time,it also raises one quiet question . For audience,will Mere Krishn be seen as theatre first,or as something much more devotional because of this journey…
