Chaitra Krishna Pratipada will change the routine of Lord Mahakal in the world famous Jyotirlinga Mahakaleshwar Temple. In the worship tradition of the temple, summer is considered to be the beginning from this day. During the summer, Rajadhiraj Mahakal will bathe with cold water. During this period, the time of three out of five Aarti to be held daily will also change.
