At the point when did the Mahakala Ujjain Temple first come in presence, is hard to tell. In any case, the occasion might be doled out to the Pre-noteworthy period. Puranas portray that it was first settled by Prajapita Brahma. There is reference to the arrangement of sovereign Kumarasena by ruler Chanda Pradyota in sixth c. BC to look after the lawfulness circumstances of Mahakala Ujjain Temple. The punch-checked coins of Ujjain, having a place with fourth third c. BC, bear the figure of Lord Siva on them. Mahakala Ujjain Temple is likewise specified in a few antiquated Indian idyllic writings. As per these writings, the temple had been extremely wonderful and charitable. Its establishment and stage were worked of stones. The temple laid on the wooden columns. There had been no sikharas on the sanctuaries preceding the Gupta period. The tops of sanctuaries had for the most part been level. Conceivably because of this reality, Kalidasa in Raghuvansam portrayed this temple as ‘Niketana’. The royal residence of the ruler had been in the region of the temple. In the early piece of the Meghadutam (Purva Megha), Kalidasa gives a captivating depiction of the Mahakala temple. It creates the impression that this Chandisvara temple may have been a one of a kind case of the then workmanship and design. It might be learned that how mind blowing had been the temple of the primary Deity of that town which had multi-storeyed gold-plated royal residences and structures and the radiant aesthetic glory. The temple was encased by high bulwarks joined with the passage doors. At nightfall the energetic columns of sparkling lights edified the temple complex.
