Ujjain district

One of the seven sacred cities of Hinduism, where the Mahakaleshwar Temple and the ghats along the Shipra River create a profound religious atmosphere.

Ujjain district is located on the Malwa Plateau in western Madhya Pradesh, India, with the Shipra River flowing through the city. The ancient city of Ujjain is one of the seven sacred cities of Hinduism and one of the four venues for the Kumbh Mela. The Mahakaleshwar Temple houses one of the twelve Jyotirlingas, and the newly built Mahakal Lok corridor has expanded the pilgrimage space. Ram Ghat is a great place to watch the evening aarti, while the Kal Bhairav Temple, Harsiddhi Temple, and Sandipani Ashram are also popular worship spots. The ancient Ujjain Observatory bears witness to its ancient astronomical traditions. October to March is the most suitable time to visit. The gateway is Indore Airport, and Ujjain also has a railway station connecting to various places.
