Quick Answer: <\/strong>Nagchandreshwar Mandir in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh opens to the public for exactly 24 hours a year, on Nag Panchami. In 2026 that day is Monday, 17 August<\/strong>. The doors on the third floor of the Mahakaleshwar temple open just after midnight following the Trikaal Puja and close 24 hours later. The same date also carries the third Sawari of Lord Mahakal<\/strong>, the Shravan Monday procession that leaves the temple at 4:00 PM for Ram Ghat. Three occasions stacking on one date is rare, and the temple administration is preparing for roughly 8\u201310 lakh visitors. If you are going, plan the day around the crowd, not around the clock.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
