उज्जैन में मंगलनाथ मंदिर कहाँ है
मंगलनाथ मंदिर उज्जैन में क्षिप्रा नदी के तट पर, Ankpat Marg, Mangalnath Mandir, Agar Road, Ujjain – 456006 पर स्थित है। उज्जैन जंक्शन रेलवे स्टेशन से मंदिर लगभग ६ किलोमीटर है और इंदौर का देवी अहिल्याबाई होलकर विमानतल लगभग ५५ किलोमीटर दूर पड़ता है। शहर में ऑटो, ई-रिक्शा एवं टैक्सी सुलभ हैं और चालक मंदिर को नाम से जानते हैं। महाकालेश्वर मंदिर से मंगलनाथ मंदिर थोड़ी ही दूरी पर है, इसलिए अधिकांश दर्शनार्थी दोनों मंदिर एक ही दिन में सम्मिलित कर लेते हैं। मंगलवार एवं पर्व के दिनों में घाट क्षेत्र में यातायात दबाव अधिक रहता है, अतः कुछ समय अतिरिक्त लेकर चलें।
Planning the visit
If an anushthan is to be performed, arrive within the puja window of 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM and let the temple know in advance so the muhurat and samagri can be arranged. Full details are on the timings page.
