Each Jyotirlinga represents a unique aspect of Shiva\u2014Mahakal being the most fearsome, eternal form.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Legend of King Chandrasena<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to local lore, King Chandrasena of Ujjain was a staunch devotee of Shiva. His devotion angered rival kings who attacked Ujjain. When young peasants prayed to Shiva for protection, <strong>Lord Shiva appeared as Mahakal<\/strong> and annihilated the invaders. To honor this, the king built a grand temple where the Jyotirlinga manifested.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sacred Geography of Ujjain<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In Hindu cosmology, Ujjain is considered the <strong>navel of the universe<\/strong>.
