    5 minutes (0.5 miles) from Hotel Midland

    The morning is the best time to visit Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga, one of the twelve Jyotirlingas in India, located within the Mahakaleshwar Temple. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is an important pilgrimage destination. Afternoon is the best time to visit Kal Bhairav Temple, a very sacred site for the locals. In the evening, you can take a stroll at the Ram Ghat and experience the amazing Ganga Aarti.

Afternoon is the best time to visit the Bhartrihari Caves, located on the banks of the Shipra River. These caves are believed to be the meditation spot of Bhartrihari, a great scholar and poet.
