In Ujjain's Mahakaleshwar Temple, the sacred Bhasma for the daily morning Aarti is no longer taken from cremation grounds. It is prepared by saints of the Mahanirvani Akhada using a special ritual. Cow dung cakes from Kapila cows are burnt along with medicinal woods like Peepal, Banyan, and Shami in a holy fire. Once the fire cools, the ash is finely sieved to obtain pure Bhasma. This Bhasma is offered to the deity amidst the chanting of Shukla Yajurveda mantras. According to mythology, Lord Shiva performed his makeup with the ashes of the demon Dushan, marking the origin of this tradition.
