Mahashivratri 2026: Jaipur’s Eklingeshwar Mahadev Temple Remains Closed, Devotees Miss Divine Sight

Jaipur, Rajasthan: Devotees in the Pink City will have to face the same disappointment this Mahashivratri.

Local belief says, “Shiva on the hill, Ganesh below, and Lakshmi Narayan (Birla Mandir) in front”, creating a spiritual triangle in the city. However, for the past six years, this sacred alignment has been incom...
