UJJAIN: The Indian women's cricket team visited Ujjain's Mahakaleshwar Temple on Wednesday to seek blessings after suffering back-to-back defeats in the ongoing ICC Women's World Cup.
The players participated in the early morning Bhasma Aarti and spent time in offering prayers in the Nandi Hall. The Bhasma Aarti at Mahakaleshwar is regarded as a spiritually powerful ritual, performed in the early morning hours. It holds profound importance for devotees, who see it as a rare chance to witness the divine form of Lord Mahakal in a solemn and mystical setting.
India started off its World Cup campaign with back-to-back wins; however, their losses to South Africa and Australia in the following matches in Vizag have put their World Cup campaign on hold. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side are currently fourth on the points table with four points from four matches and a net run rate of 0.682, with three league-phase games still to play.
