Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday performed puja with rituals at the famous Mahakal temple.

After performing the rituals, Mr Gandhi prostrated in front of the sanctum sanctorum of the temple. He also sat for a while beside the idol of Nandi (the holy bull considered the vehicle of Lord Shiva) on the temple premises.

This is the second visit by Gandhi to a jyotirlinga temple dedicated to Lord Shiva in Madhya Pradesh after his cross-country Yatra entered the Central state on November 23. Rahul Gandhi, his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and her family members on Friday performed 'Ma Narmada' aarti at the famous Omkareshwar temple in Khandwa district.

Rahul Gandhi later prayed at the famous Shiva temple, one of the 12 'jyotirlings' in the country.
