Ujjain (MP), Oct 8 (PTI) A special anthem dedicated to Lord Shiva, the resident deity of the ancient Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain, will be sung by Kailash Kher on the day the mega corridor will be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, officials said on Saturday.   The anthem 'Jai Shri Mahakal' has been composed to mark the creation of the new corridor, christened 'Mahakal Lok'.

After reaching Ujjain in the evening, he will drive to the temple complex in his motorcade, and perform a 'puja' at the Mahakaleshwar Temple.

"After that, he will go to the 'Nandi Dwar', the main gateway of the new corridor, and inaugurate the corridor," said a senior official of Ujjain Smart City Ltd, which has executed the project.
