The Simhasth Kumbh Mela at Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh came into news on Saturday for a special reason. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s wife Jashodaben Modi took the holy bath at the Kumbh Mela, and paid a visit to the Mahakaleshwar temple.
While visiting the temple, Jashodaben was no different from the other devotees. She waited in queue, like any other follower. She was accompanied by a few members of her family as well.
Jashodaben visited the temple around 1 pm and took darshan of Lord Shiva. Yesterday, she visited the Saibaba temple at Shirdi in Ahmednagar district, as well as Trimbakeshwar in Nashik district, in Maharashtra.Senior police officer, Simhasth Kumbh Mela
