Congress president Rahul Gandhi arrived in the Malwa-Nimad region of the poll bound Madhya Pradesh on Monday for a two-day election campaign.
Clad in a ‘dhoti’, he performed ‘puja’ at the ancient temple, which is one of the 12 ‘Jyotirlingas’ (special shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva) in the country.
It was Gandhi’s second visit to the shrine. He had last visited the temple in 2010, a party leader said.
Wearing cream-coloured ‘shola’ (dhoti called in temple dialect), the Congress chief entered the sanctum sanctorum along with state party unit president Kamal Nath and campaign committee chairman Jyotiraditya Scindia revealed to media.
