Shree Sapneshwar Mahadev Mandir
Har Har Mahadev. The Sapneshwar Mahadev Mandir Foundation welcomes every devotee to the sacred abode of Bholenath at Sukhliya, Indore.
Beneath a canopy of palms and open sky, the Shivling of Sapneshwar Mahadev receives an unbroken abhishek from the kalash suspended above it — water falling drop by drop, day and night, in the oldest and simplest form of worship known to the devotees of Shiva.
Before the sanctum sits Nandi, the faithful vahana and gatekeeper of Kailash, and beside the lingam stand Shri Ganesh, Maa Parvati and the trishul wrapped in rudraksha. The mandir keeps its doors open through the day, and the four aartis mark the rhythm of every morning and evening here.
The Foundation exists to care for this shrine — its daily puja, its upkeep, its festivals and the seva it offers to the community that gathers around it.

The mandir follows the same rhythm every day of the year, changing only for the great festivals of Mahadev.

शिवजी की आरती
The aarti sung at the mandir, as written on the board above the sanctum.
जय शिव ओंकारा, ॐ जय शिव ओंकारा।
ब्रह्मा विष्णु सदाशिव, अर्द्धांगी धारा॥
॥ ॐ जय शिव ओंकारा ॥
एकानन चतुरानन पंचानन राजे।
हंसासन गरुड़ासन वृषवाहन साजे॥
॥ ॐ जय शिव ओंकारा ॥
दो भुज चार चतुर्भुज दसभुज अति सोहे।
त्रिगुण रूप निरखते त्रिभुवन जन मोहे॥
॥ ॐ जय शिव ओंकारा ॥
अक्षमाला बनमाला रुण्डमाला धारी।
चंदन मृगमद सोहै भोले शशिधारी॥
॥ ॐ जय शिव ओंकारा ॥
श्वेताम्बर पीताम्बर बाघम्बर अंगे।
सनकादिक गरुणादिक भूतादिक संगे॥
॥ ॐ जय शिव ओंकारा ॥
कर के मध्य कमंडल चक्र त्रिशूल धर्ता।
जगकर्ता जगहर्ता जगपालनकर्ता॥
॥ ॐ जय शिव ओंकारा ॥
ब्रह्मा विष्णु सदाशिव जानत अविवेका।
प्रणवाक्षर के मध्ये ये तीनों एका॥
॥ ॐ जय शिव ओंकारा ॥
त्रिगुणस्वामी जी की आरती जो कोई नर गावे।
कहत शिवानंद स्वामी मनवांछित फल पावे॥
॥ ॐ जय शिव ओंकारा ॥
