Top 14 Things to Do in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh

LEROY Francis/Getty Images

Along with Mandu and Omkareshwar, Ujjain forms part of the Golden Triangle in the Malwa Region of Madhya Pradesh. This holy city in the state's southwest is regarded as one of the seven most sacred cities in India, making it one of the most popular Hindu pilgrimage destinations. Ujjain is mainly associated with Lord Shiva in the fierce form of Lord Mahakal, the destroyer of all elements, who protects the city.

The existence of Ujjain as an urban center can be traced all the way back to about 700 B.C. when it was known as Avantika, the capital of the Avanti kingdom, as mentioned in the Hindu epic "The Mahabharata." This flourishing kingdom was on the trade route between north and south India. The city was taken over by the first Mauryan emperor, Chandragupta, in the 4th century B.C. and remained important.

Ujjain has also featured in both ancient and modern literature. The great 5th-century Indian classical Sanskrit poet Mahakavi Kalidasa, who was a court poet of the Gupta Empire, described the city in his work "Meghaduta." More recently, celebrated novelist E.M. Forster traveled through the area in the early 20th century and wrote about it.

Visiting temples is one of the top things to do in Ujjain. However, there are plenty of other attractions for those who aren't religious.

Attend the Kumbh Mela

Hindu scriptures say that Ujjain is one of four holy places where drops of amrita (the nectar of immortality) fell during a legendary fight between gods and demons, known as Samudra Manthan. The Kumbh Mela festival is held at each of these places (the others are Haridwar in Uttarakhand , Allahabad in Uttar Pradesh, and Nashik in Maharashtra ) once every 12 years. The festival at Ujjain is called the Simhastha Kumbh Mela due to the specific configuration of planets, and the next one will happen in 2028. Attending is not for the faint of heart though! It's the largest religious gathering in the world, attracting millions of pilgrims and sadhus (Hindu holy men) every day. They come in the procession to cleanse their sins by taking a dip in the Shipra River and giving discourses to curious spiritual seekers.

Go Temple Hopping

Ujjain is a city of temples and each one has mythological stories associated with it. In fact, there are so many temples it would take at least a couple of days to unhurriedly visit them all. Mahakaleshwar temple , where Lord Shiva resides, is the main temple. Notably, it has a unique ritual where the idol is smeared with sacred ash at the start of each day. Opposite the temple, the huge idol of the beloved elephant-headed god (son of Lord Shiva) at Bada Ganesh Mandir is worth admiring. Across the lake, on the way to Ram Ghat, Harsiddhi Mata temple is another prominent temple in Ujjain where shakti (female energy) is worshipped. The temple was restored by the Marathas in the 18th century and its two pillars are beautifully illuminated with hundreds of lamps during the Navaratri festival .

To the north of the city, across the Shipra River, devotees give alcohol to Lord Kal Bhairav at his temple as part of a Tantra ritual. An intimidating manifestation of Lord Shiva, he helps guard the city and is distinctly fond of Royal Stag whiskey.

Other top temples include Gopal Mandir in Ujjain's main market area, Chintaman Ganesh temple, the ISKCON temple, and Mangal Nath Mandir. There's also a temple at Siddhavat, on the Shipra River, where an old banyan tree is said to have been planted by Goddess Parvati. The Bhartrihari Caves, where philosopher and poet Bhartrihari meditated in the 7th century, contain a small temple too. It's frequented by ash-smeared Nath sadhus.

Cleanse Your Body and Soul in the River

The Shipra River, also known as the Kshipra River, is one of the holiest rivers in India. There are many stories about it in the "Skanda Purana," an ancient Hindu text associated with Lord Shiva dating back to around the 6th century. Taking a dip in the river is believed to purify the body and soul. The most celebrated place to do this is Ram Ghat, where Lord Ram is said to have performed his father's last rites. However, there are other popular bathing ghats along the river.

Observe Local Life by the River

Even if you're not interested in the religious significance of Ram Ghat, it's still worth spending some time there to observe daily life. The ghat stretches for about a kilometer (0.6 miles) along the river and it's possible to stroll from one end to the other. Early mornings are really evocative, when the sun's rays warm the temples, the clang of temple bells vibrates through the air, and people perform their morning devotional rituals. Find a quiet spot to sit and relax, and the hours will disappear as you soak up the peaceful vibe.

Participate in the Evening Aarti

As the sun sets, Ram Ghat comes alive with the mesmerizing glow of earthen lamps, more clanging of bells, and chanting of mantras. This ritual, known as the Shipra aarti , takes place every evening to honor the river. The lamps are set afloat on the river, to be transported north to Lord Shiva's abode in the Himalayas. It's an unforgettable experience that soothes and uplifts with its tangible divine energy. Hire a boat and go out onto the river to get another perspective of it.

Sample Some Street Food

Ujjain's regional street food is a tempting fusion of Gujarati, Maharashtrian, and Rajasthani delicacies. Dozens of pushcarts serving snacks converge on Tower Chowk, the sprawling square beside the city's landmark clock tower, in the evenings. There's a dizzying array of items to choose from, including pani puri , bhel puri , vada pav , kachori , jalebi , samosa , poha , masala bhutta , different types of chaat , sabudana khichidi , Western hot dogs, and ice cream. The ice gola (crushed flavored ice) coated with rabri (sweetened condensed milk) is a must-try. It's foodie heaven!

The city is also famous for its bhang thandai , a sacred substance in Hindu culture that is closely associated with Lord Shiva. It's sold openly in shops in Ujjain, but do be aware that the milk drink is made with cannabis paste. You can get it at Sree Mahakaleshwar Bhaang Ghota, located on Mahakaleshwar Road near the temple; more than a century old, it was featured on the popular Indian travel and food show "Highway on my Plate."

Get Lost in the Lanes of the Old City

Just as much as Ujjain is a city of temples, it's also a city of alleyways. A tangle of slender lanes snakes from the railway station down to the river bank. Some are so narrow that cars can't pass through, but they're ideal to explore on foot. Those around Gopal Mandir, in the heart of the Old City, are perfect for getting lost. They won't feature in guidebooks and may appear unremarkable, but they're an integral part of the city's fabric. You never know what will unfold beyond each corner. Besides wandering along Ram Ghat, this is one of the best things you can do to get an authentic feel for the city!

Bargain at the Bazaars

The colorful bazaars of Ujjain also reflect the city's charm. You'll find them in the streets north of the railway station, with the area around Gopal Mandir being the busiest. Amid the melee of vendors, vehicles, and people, there are all kinds of goods for sale ranging from copper statues to clothing. Textiles are plentiful and many shops are stocked with irresistible batik-printed cotton cloth, a local specialty known as dabu .

Buy Batik at Behrugarh Village

If you're fond of Indian textiles, plan a trip to nearby Behrugarh (also called Bhairogarh) village, where the batik printing is done. This village is situated on the northern outskirts of Ujjain, between Kal Bhairav and Mangal Nath temples. It's been the hub of batik in Madhya Pradesh for hundreds of years, ever since craftsmen from Rajasthan and Gujarat migrated there during the Mughal era. These days, the village has about 800 artisans involved in traditional batik printing. It's carried out on sheets, saris, cushion covers, scarves, handkerchiefs, napkins, and more!

Admire the Architecture of Kaliyadeh Palace

Continue a few kilometers north of Behrugarh and you'll reach the ruins of the 15th-century red sandstone Kaliyadeh Palace. It was built on the Shipra River during the reign of Mahmud Khilji, the Sultan of Malwa, and has superb domed Persian architecture. With a bit of imagination, you can picture what Ujjain might have been like during this prosperous period, when the sultans went on a palace-building spree in the region. Inscriptions in one of the long corridors of Kaliyadeh Palace indicate that it was visited by the influential Mughal emperors Akbar and Jehangir. The palace was damaged in a war between the Marathas and Pindaris in 1818 and was neglected until 1920 when Maharaja Sir Madho Rao Scindia of Gwalior restored it. It's abandoned now, and visitors can walk through its arches and view the sun temple there.

See Where Lord Krishna Studied

Those who are spiritually inclined will appreciate a stop at Sandipani Ashram on the way to Mangal Nath Mandir. It belongs to Sandipani Muni, the guru who is stated in Hindu scriptures to have taught Lord Krishna. In fact, the ashram was a distinguished center of learning for more than 3,000 years! The priests who manage it today are direct descendants of the guru. What also makes the ashram unique is that it has a statue of Nandi (Lord Shiva's vehicle, the bull) in a rare standing position. Other attractions include a shrine commemorating Sandipani Muni, an ancient Shiva temple, and a reservoir called Gomti Kund that provides water to the ashram. Lord Krishna is said to have pressed his feet on the ground there to bring water from the Gomti River. Two highlights are the spot where Lord Krishna washed his slate for writing and a set of footprints attributed to him. The ashram is still functional and conducts summer courses in the Vedas , specifically the Shukla Yajur Veda , every year from April to June.

Learn About Ancient Indian Astronomy

Ujjain has an extraordinary geographical location—not only does the Tropic of Cancer pass through it, but it was also India's Prime Meridian (zero degrees longitude) before the world's official Prime Meridian was set at Greenwich in 1884. This was determined by ancient Indian mathematicians and astrologers way back when Ujjain was known as Avantika. It's documented in the "Surya Siddhanta," one of the earliest Hindu texts on astronomy written in the 4th century. Ujjain was a crucial center for mathematical and astronomical research in the 6th and 7th centuries.

Unfortunately, the city's first observatory was destroyed by invading Sultan Iltutmish, from Delhi, in 1235. It wasn't until the 18th century that Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh built the existing one, known as Jantar Mantar. It's one of five such observatories that he constructed in India (the others are in Delhi, Mathura, Varanasi, and Jaipur ), and the only one that's still in use. Its intriguing astronomical instruments work by casting shadows. Jantar Mantar is open daily and there's a small entry fee. If you're there around noon on June 21, the day of the summer solstice, the sun will move directly overhead and your shadow will completely disappear for a minute!

Step Back in Time at Ujjain's Museums

Ujjain has a few quality museums that will interest history and archaeology buffs. Just east of the railway station, the Wakankar Museum is named after the award-winning Indian archaeologist who accidentally discovered Madhya Pradesh's prehistoric painted Bhimbetka Rock Caves in 1957. The museum has a fascinating collection of artifacts that include old rock art paintings.

The Triveni Art and Archaeological Museum (closed Mondays and government holidays), just south of the lake, was set up in 2016. It has three separate galleries showcasing religious sculptures and art related to lords Shiva and Vishnu, and the female energy shakti. In addition, many artifacts from Vikram University's Vikram Kirti Mandir Museum have been moved to the museum. They consist of various items from civilizations in the Narmada Valley during the Vikram Era, dating back to 58 B.C. Nearby, the Jain Museum has a comprehensive collection of artifacts belonging to the Jain religion.

Explore Sanskrit Classical Literature and Arts

A bit further down the road from Wakankar Museum is Kalidasa Academy. The Madhya Pradesh government established it in 1978 to preserve the works of poet Mahakavi Kalidasa, often referred to as the Shakespeare of India. Its purpose also extends to researching and promoting Sanskrit classical literature and arts in general. The massive campus has a library with more than 4,000 books (some of which are in English) that's open to the public. There are paintings, sculptures, manuscripts, stage costumes, masks, and musical instruments, too. Plus, you'll find a garden that was mentioned in Kalidasa’s works. The academy holds a wide program of events such as workshops, plays, films, classical and folk music recitals, and the annual week-long Kalidasa Samaroh festival (usually in November each year).

The best time to visit Ujjain is from October to March, when the weather is at its coolest. Following summer's monsoon season, the city this time of year experiences little precipitation and maximum daytime temps ranging from 79 degrees F to 93 degrees F.

Ujjain does not have an airport; to reach the city, book a flight to Indore's Devi Ahilyabai Holkar International Airport, located about 40 miles from Ujjain.

One of the most sacred cities in India, Ujjain is home to Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga, one of the 12 Jyotirlingas (a sacred abode of the Hindu god Lord Shiva). Sandipani Ashram, where Lord Krishna is said to have studied, can also be found here.

Ujjain (उज्जैन Ujjain ) is a city in the state of Madhya Pradesh in India . It is home to the Mahakaleshwar Temple, one of the 12 Jyotirlingas of India.

Understand [ edit ]

Name [ edit ].

The name "Ujjain" is derived from its Sanskrit name Ujjayinī . Historically, the city was also known as Avantika .

Legend and history [ edit ]

An ancient city situated on the eastern bank of the Shipra River, Ujjain was the most prominent city on the Malwa plateau of central India for much of its history. The city has been one of the most prominent trade and political centres of India from the time of the ancient Mahājanapadas till the British rule in India .

As per legends, Ujjain was the capital of the king Vikramaditya. His court consisted of nine extraordinary people, collectively known as navaratnas .

Ujjain enjoyed a position of considerable importance in the field of astronomy. Great works on astronomy such as the Surya Siddhanta and the Panch Siddhanta were written in Ujjain. According to Indian astronomers, the Tropic of Cancer is supposed to pass through Ujjain. It is also the prime meridian used by the Hindu geographers. From about the 4th century BC, Ujjain enjoyed the reputation of being India's Greenwich.

Get in [ edit ]

Ujjain is well connected with rest of India by road and rail, but there is no airport. The closest airport is in Indore , 52 km away.

By train [ edit ]

Ujjain has direct trains for all the major cities of India, though some are very inconvenient and it's better to break journey from Bhopal . From Mumbai (Bombay) "Awanitka express" (daily) and "Pune-Indore" express (thrice in week), from New Delhi "Hazarat Nizamuddin Intercity Express" and from Bangalore "Jaipur Mysore Express" are a few good leads.

By car [ edit ]

Ujjain is connected to nearby towns with very good roads compared to the rest of Madhya Pradesh. It is 52 km from Indore along the NH 3 toll road, and it takes less than an hour to cover the distance. Indore is in turn connected by Agra-Mumbai National Highway to rest of the India.

The drive is scenic and punctuated by small villages on either side of the road. Stop by on the way to enjoy fresh guavas and corn. It's a must. Most parts of the road are decent and drivable with broken road in patches on the entire stretch.

23.20409 75.76664 1 Bhartrihari Caves . These caves are just above the bank of the Shipra near the temple of Gadkalika. According to popular tradition, this is the spot where Bhartrihari, who is said to have been the step brother of Vikramaditya, lived and meditated after renouncing worldly life. He is believed to have been a great scholar and poet. His famous works, Shringarshatak, Vairagyashatak, and Nitishatak, are known for the exquisite use of the Sanskrit meter.
Durgadas Ki Chhatri . This distinctive monument glows like a small jewel in the surrounding lush landscape. Vir Durgadas earned a secure niche for himself in the history of Marwad by his undaunting, selfless service to the State. He fought for the independence of Jodhpur after the death of Maharaj Jaswant Singh and helped Ajit Singh to ascend the throne against the wishes of Aurangzeb. Durgadas died at Rampura in 1718, and his funeral rites were performed according to his wishes on the banks of the Shipra. The rulers of Jodhpur had built the chhatri to consecrate his memory. This beautiful structure, built in the Rajpur style of architecture, houses a statue of Durgadas which crumbled down.
23.1793 75.78491 2 Kaliadeh Palace . Situated on the banks of the Shipra, the island-like site immediately conjures up the natural beauty of ancient Ujjain which poets down the ages have waxed lyrical. The glorious landscape of the flowing river on both sides of the palace and the man-made tanks and channels, with water gurgling through them, provide a spectacular backdrop to the imposing building. The central dome of the palace is a beautiful example of Persian architecture. Two Persian inscriptions found in one of the long corridors of the palace record the visits of Emperor Akbar and Jehangir to this palace. The palace was broken down in the time of the Pindaris and was restored by Madhav Rao Scindia in 1920 to its present glory. The Sun Temple was also restored by the family.
Navagraha Mandir (Triveni) . Situated on the Triveni Ghat of the Shipra, the temple is away from the old site of Ujjaini town. It is dedicated to the nine planets, attracts large crowds on new moon days falling on Saturdays. Its religious importance has grown though there is no known reference to it in the ancient texts.
Pir Matsyendranath . This is an extremely attractive spot on the banks of the Shipra quite close to the Bhartihari Caves and the Gadkalika Temple. It is dedicated to the memory of one of the great leaders of the Natha sect of Saivism-Matsyendranath. Since Muslims as well as the followers of the Natha sect call their saints 'pir', the ancient site of Pir Matsyendranath is venerated by both. Excavations at this site have yielded some antiquities which date back to the 6th and 7th century BC.
Sandalwala Building . This masterpiece was created in 1925 by Fida Husain Abdul Husain Sandalwala. The architectural marvel stands on R.P. Bhargav Marg of Ujjain, it was built by the artisans of Ujjain and Jaipur. From inside the building looks more like a palace and is an landmark. Families of Mr. Fida Husain Sandalwala son of Late Asger Ali Sandalwala, Mr. Anis Sandalwala son of Late Abdul Husain Sandalwala & Mr. Firoz Sandalwala son of Late Inayat Husain Sandalwala reside in the building.
23.21148 75.78263 3 Sandipani Ashram . The fact that ancient Ujjain apart from its political and religious importance, enjoyed the reputation of being a great seat of learning as early as the Mahabharata period is borne out by the fact that, Lord Krishna and Sudama received regular instruction in the ashram of Guru Sandipani. The area near the ashram is known as Ankapata, popularly believed to have been the place used by Lord Krishna for washing his writing tablet. The numerals 1 to 100 found on a stone are believed to have been engraved by Guru Sandipani. The Gomti Kunda referred to in the Puranas was the source of water supply to the ashram in the olden days. An image of Nandi, belonging to the Shunga period, is to be found near the tank. The followers of Vallabha sect regard this place as the 73rd seat of the 84 seats of Vallabhacharya where he delivered his discourses throughout India.
Siddhavat . This enormous banyan tree on the banks of the Shipra, has been vested with religious sanctity as the Akashyavat in Prayag and Gaya, Vanshivat of Vrindavan and the Panchavata of Nasik. Thousands of pilgrims take a dip in the Shipra from the bathing ghat built here. According to one tradition, Parvati is believed to have performed her penance here. It used to be a place of worship for the followers of Natha sect. One legend has it that some Mughal rulers had cut off the Banyan tree and covered the site with iron sheets to prevent its roots from growing. But the tree pierced the iron sheets and grew and flourished. The little village of Bhairogarh near Siddhavat is famous for its tie and dye painting for centuries. In ancient times when trade with other countries flourished, exquisitely printed cloth from Bhairogarh used to find its way to Rome and China.
23.16824 75.80068 4 Vikram Kirti Mandir . Established on the occasion of the second millennium of the Vikram Samvat, as the cultural centre to perpetuate the memory of Vikramaditya, the Vikram Kirti Mandir houses the Scindia Oriental Research Institute, an archaeological museum, an art gallery and an auditorium. The Scindia Oriental Research Institute has an invaluable collection of 18,000 manuscripts on various subjects and runs a reference library of important oriental publications. Rare manuscripts in Prakrit, Arabic, Persian and other Indian languages cover a wide range of subjects from Vedic literature and philosophy to dance and music. Palm leaf and bark leaf (Bhurja Patra) manuscripts are also preserved in this institute. Apart from an illustrated manuscript of Shrimad Bhagavata in which actual gold and silver have been employed for the paintings, the Institute has a rich collection of old paintings in the Rajput and Mughal style. The museum also exhibits a rich array of images, inscriptions, copper plates and fossils discovered in the Narmada valley. A huge skull of a primitive elephant is of special interest.

Temples [ edit ]

23.1793 75.78491 7 Bade Ganeshji Ka Mandir . This temple above the tank near the Mahakaleshwar temple, enshrines a huge artistic sculpture of Ganesh, the son of Shiva. An idol of this size and beauty is rarely to be found. The middle of the temple is adorned by an idol of the pancha-mukhi (five faced) Hanuman. There is provision for learning of Sanskrit and Astrology in the temple.
23.2083 75.77031 9 Gadkalika . Situated about 2 miles from the city of Ujjain, the deity in this temple is believed to have been worshipped by Kalidasa. The legend goes that he was an idiot and it is by his devotion to the goddess Kalika that he acquired great literary skills. Emperor Harshavardhan had this temple renovated in the 7th century AD. There is further evidence of renovation during the Paramara period. The temple has been rebuilt in the modern times by the erstwhile Gwalior State.
23.18805 75.77135 10 Gopal Mandir . This huge temple is in the middle of the big market square. It was constructed by Bayajibai Shinde, the queen of Maharajah Daulat Rao Shinde in the 19th century. It is a beautiful example of Maratha architecture. The sanctum sanctorum is inlaid with marble and doors are silver plated. The door in the inner sanctum is said to have been carried to Ghazni from the Somnath temple and from thence by Mahmud Shah Abdali to Lahore. Mahadji Scindia recovered it and now it has been installed in this temple.
23.174569 75.773013 11 Hanuman Naka Mandir ( हनुमान नाका मंदिर उज्जैन ). =This 100-year-old southface hanuman naka and ram laxman and sitaji temple is in old Ujjain Seema. ( updated Dec 2019 )

23.18419 75.7647 12 Harsiddhi Temple . This temple occupies a special place in the galaxy of ancient sacred spots of Ujjain. Seated between the idols of Mahalaxmi and Mahasaraswati, the idol of Annapurna is painted in dark vermilion colour. The Sri Yantra, the symbol of power or shakti, is also enshrined in the temple. According to the Shiva Purana, when Shiva carried away the burning body of Sati from the sacrificial fire, her elbow dropped at this place. There is an interesting legend in the Skanda Purana about the manner in which the Goddess Chandi acquired the epithet of Harsiddhi. Once when Shiva and Parvati were alone on Mount Kailash, two demons called Chand and Prachand tried to force their way in. Shiva called upon Chandi to destroy them which she did. Pleased, Shiva bestowed upon her the epithet of 'one who vanquishes all'. The temple was reconstructed during the Maratha period and the two pillars adorned with lamps are special features of Maratha art. These lamps, lit during Navaratri, present a glorious spectacle. There is an ancient well on the premises, and an artistic pillar adorns the top of it.
23.21127 75.78265 13 Mangalnath . This temple is away from the bustle of the city and can be reached through a winding road. The temple looks upon a vast expanse of the Shipra waters and fills the onlooker with an indescribable sense of peace. Mangalnath is regarded as the birth place of Mars, according to the Matsya Purana. In ancient times, it was famous for a clear view of the planet and hence suitable for astronomical studies. Mahadev or Shiva is the deity which is worshipped in the temple of Mangalnath.

Do [ edit ]

Learn [ edit ].

Vikram University . A famous centre of learning in the past, Ujjain continues to uphold that tradition. The establishment of the Vikram University in 1957 was an important landmark. Situated on the Dewas Road, this university plays a significant role in the literary and cultural activities of the city.

Buy [ edit ]

Variants of locally produced consumer goods -- for instance namkeen (snacks), toast, henna among others -- have grown to become closely linked with the cultural and geographic identity of Ujjain. These can be found in shops all over the city, across the price and quality spectrum (in some cases, common prices are agreed upon by trade associations). A few notable outlets, which have gained popularity beyond the borders of Ujjain, would be:

Bafna Sweets & Namkeen , Near Bada Sarafa ( standing at the juncture facing Gopal Mandir, the right lane leads to Sarafa ). A family business that caters to the culinary wants of the city, with an almost exhaustive variety of milk-based sweets and namkeen (a variant of spicy snacks, indigenous to North India). 'Sev' is the preferred choice of travel snack for locals. ( updated Nov 2015 )
Noorjanan Mehandi . A locally produced brand of henna with clientele all over India. ( updated Nov 2015 )
Haidery Bakery , Qamri Marg ( in one of the bylanes of the road between Gopal Mandir and the Badri Moausoleum ). One of the most famous producers of 'toast', a local favorite mostly consumed with tea. The modest location of their shop betrays the fact that their produce goes all over the nation, most notably served in Bohra guest-houses. Although, back at home, they have quite some competition from some locally well-established players. ( updated Nov 2015 )
Rida , Multiple shops outside the two major Bohra mausoleums ( Qamri Marg and Kharakunwa Bakhal ). The traditional Bohra garments, Topi-kurta (male) and Rida-Jodi (female) are produced in blinding variety by local producers, catering to the sizeable Bohra population of the city as well as the hordes of visitors that flock the two shrines. ( updated Nov 2015 )

Home / Blog / 10 Best Places to Visit and Things to Do in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh

Ujjain Tourism- Best Places to Visit in Ujjain

Situated on the bank of River Shipra, the ‘Temple City’, Ujjain, is thronged largely by the Hindu devotees. As the name given to it suggests, the city is dotted with a number of big and small, old and new temples making it an important religious place in India to visit.

However, Ujjain is not only for the devotees of Hinduism, with there being places in the city that create an interest even for the history buffs. Ujjain is also the venue for the famed Kumbh Mela, which takes place in the city every 12 years.

Here are some of the best places to visit in Ujjain:

Shree mahakaleshwar temple, kal bhairav temple.

Vedha Shala

Kaliadeh Palace

One of the most well-known Hindu temples, Shree Mahakaleshwar Temple, honors the god of time and death, Mahakal, who is thought to be Lord Shiva. It is actually one of the nation’s twelve Jyotirlingas, which are regarded as his holiest dwellings. The presiding deity Shiva is housed in the Shree Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain and is worshiped as a lingam. It is situated along the banks of the River Shipra and is thought to have been a Swayambhu or a self-manifested one.

In contrast to the other 12 Jyotirlingas, which face east, the idol of Mahakaleshwar is recognized as a Dakshinamurti, meaning that it faces south. The sanctum sanctorum is surrounded by figures of Ganesh, Parvati, and Karttikeya to the west, north, and east, and Lord Shiva’s vehicle, Nandi, to the south. The Shree Mahakaleshwar Temple, a significant temple in Ujjain, is also well-known for its Bhasm Aarti, a well-attended ritual that draws a sizable crowd of devotees to the temple at dawn.

Kal Bhairav Temple Ujjain Madhya Pradesh

Another significant temple in the city is the Kal Bhairav Temple, which is devoted to the guardian deity of Ujjain. Since the Kal Bhairav Temple is thought to be connected to the Tantric Hinduism cult, one can frequently see numerous sadhus there, many of them with long, matted hair and ash smudged over their body. The act of offering alcohol to the deity is one of the temple’s distinctive features. The priests receive alcohol from the devotees as part of the Tantric ceremony, and they pour it into little plates before pouring it into the idol’s mouth, when it vanishes.

Even after years, it is still unknown where this alcohol goes because the idol doesn’t appear to have any cavities in his mouth. It is this fascinating occurrence that draws in interested tourists in addition to worshipers to the temple. Lord Shiva in the guise of Kal Bhairava, the guardian deity of Ujjain, is highly revered by his devotees, who flock in large numbers to the temple. Situated near the banks of the Shipra River, the temple was allegedly constructed by a local ruler by the name of Bhadrasen. It was originally painted in the Malwa style, of which there are now just remnants.

Vedha Shala (Jantar Mantar)

Prominent astronomical compositions like the Panch Siddhanta and the Surya Siddhanta are rumored to have been composed in Ujjain. Around the fourth century BC, Ujjain is also reported to have had the distinction of being known as India’s Greenwich. The observatory that stands in Ujjain today, known as Vedh Shala, was constructed by the renowned scholar Maharaja Sawai Raja Jai Singh of Jaipur (1686–1743), who translated the Arabic works of Ptolemy and Euclid into Sanskrit.

Among the numerous observatories he constructed at Jaipur, Delhi, Varanasi, and Mathura, the one in Ujjain is still in continuous use. A variety of instruments, including the Sun-dial, Narivalaya, Digansha, and Shanku Yantra, are part of the Jantar Mantar. The king developed the Sun-dial, Narivalaya, and Dignasha after studying the planets’ movements lasting eight years, though the Shanku Yatra was unveiled a little later than the other devices. The Department of Education still oversees astronomical research, and the ephemeris is released once a year. The observatory is also used for weather forecasting. It has a small planetarium and a telescope for seeing the Moon, Mars, Jupiter, and their satellites.

The historical palace of Kaliadeh is one of the most popular destinations to see on your trip to Ujjain. It is located 10 kilometers from the town on an island-like setting in the Shipra River. Mandu Rulers established the palace in 1458, which remains to be a magnificent example of architectural heritage. The palace has several domed structures and built in the Persian architectural style, is situated in a quiet setting that enhances the surrounding area’s natural beauty.

The River Shipra is a captivating sight as it meanders around both sides of the palace. A large amount of the palace’s remaining structure suffered as a result of time and enemy invasions. At that point, in 1920, Maharaja Madhav Rao Scindia I decided to restore the palace to its current state. Persian inscriptions discovered within the palace also record trips to Kaliadeh by Mughal Emperors Akbar and Jehangir. Among the most beautiful buildings in the city, the Kaliadeh Palace is one of the top attractions in Ujjain.

Chintaman Ganesh Temple Ujjain Madhya Pradesh

The Chintaman Ganesh Temple, one of the most popular tourist destinations in Ujjain, is devoted to the Hindu god Ganesh and is located on the Fatehabad Railway Line along the banks of the River Shipra. It is said that the Ganesh deity housed here is a Swayambhu, or one who manifests himself. It is an ancient temple that has been worshiped since decades.

The reason millions of devotees flock to this temple in hopes of being freed from all their troubles is the deity, known traditionally as Chintaharan Ganesh, which translates to “the one who takes away anxieties and worries.” The Chintaman Ganesh temple is dedicated to the worship of three distinct forms of Lord Ganesha: Ichhaman Ganesh, Siddhivinayak, and Chitman Gopala. Siddhivinayak bestows prosperity and knowledge, while Chintamani Ganesha eases worries and Ichhamani Ganesha grants wishes.

Bade Ganesh Ji Ka Mandir Ujjain Madhya Pradesh

Located close to the Mahakaleshwar Temple’s tank, Bade Ganeshji Ka Mandir is renowned for its enormous statue of the god Ganesh. Hindus believe that divinity possesses wisdom, discernment, and foresight, which are symbolized by the head of the deity. Unlike other portrayals of the God, the sculpture of the deity has its trunk turned clockwise. The people in the area have a great deal of respect for the god and the temple, and they believe that any wish made to the god is fulfilled quickly.

Another remarkable statue of Lord Hanuman is located in the middle of the temple. This statue is extremely rare because it features five different representations of Hanuman, known as the Panchmukhi Hanuman. These representations include the Hanuman Mukha, Narasimha Mukha, Varaha Mukha, Garuda Mukha, and Hayagriva Mukha, and they stand for bravery, loyalty, devotion, strength, and righteousness. In addition to being a major educational hub, the temple offers its followers courses in Sanskrit and astrology.

Ram Ghat lies next to the Harsiddhi Temple and is one of the most visited sites in Ujjain. Among the most significant ghats in the nation, it is the site of the city’s annual Kumbh Mela, which takes place here every twelve years. Since it commemorates the world’s largest religious gathering, it draws devotees from all over the world. It is during the Kumbh Mela when the ghat sees the greatest number of people.

On any given day, followers visit the ghat to complete their daily rituals and take a bath in the sacred water. At the Ram Ghat, many believe they will find redemption and be cleansed of all their earthly sins by taking a holy plunge. Heading to the ghat in the evening will let you witness the mesmerizing evening aarti that takes place every evening in adoration of the River Shipra. Ram Ghat is a great location for a leisurely stroll in addition to its religious significance, especially in the early morning and evening. Therefore, be sure to include a visit to Ram Ghat on the itinerary when you are in Ujjain.

One of the Shakti peethas, Harsiddhi Mata Temple in Ujjain is thought to be the spot where Goddess Sati’s elbow dropped after she burned herself in the sacrificial fire and was carried throughout the subcontinent by Lord Shiva. For this reason, the temple is regarded as one of the many revered Shakti Peethas scattered across the nation. The temple has two unique pine-shaped iron lamp stands that loom to a height of 15 feet, and are a mesmerizing attraction during the festivities of Navratri.

The main attraction of the expansive temple complex is the beautifully painted Harsiddhi Mata, the primary deity, surrounded by idols of Mahasaraswati and Mahalakshmi. One of the distinctive aspects of this temple is the existence of Shree Yantra, which represents nine manifestations of Durga. The chief deity of the temple is also called Goddess Chandi, who is bestowed with the name Harsiddhi by Lord Shiva and is renowned for having killed the demons Chand and Prachand at his request. The temple features the Sri Yantra, or nine triangles that stand for the nine names of the Goddess, and was constructed in the Maratha architectural style. A yantra is a meditation tool that represents the universe. Every division found in a yantra represents Shakti. The dark red figure of Annapurna, the Goddess of Nourishment, sitting next to Mahasaraswati, the Goddess of Wisdom and Knowledge, is also housed in the temple.

Chaubis Khamba Temple Ujjain Madhya Pradesh

Chaubis Khamba Temple is yet another wonderful destination of Ujjain. An impressive structure, the place is associated with Devi Bhadrakaali. Dating back in time, Chaubis Khamba Temple is a fine example of architectural marvel in the city. It’s impressive to view the images of the temple’s guardian goddesses, Mahalaya and Mahamaya, at the entrance with their names etched on the steps leading up to the temple.

The Chaubis Khamba, or 24 pillars, that adorn the temple are what give it its name. Chaubis Khamba, an exquisitely carved temple, is a must-see location in Ujjain. This place witnesses widespread celebrations of the auspicious days of Shukla Paksha Ashtami and Navratri, drawing an impressive number of devotees.

Located on the banks of the Shipra River, Pir Matsyendranath is a picturesque location in Ujjain and is believed to date back to the 6th and 7th centuries BC. The location is devoted to Matsyendranath, the master of Guru Gorakhnath, the founder of Hatha Yoga, and a notable figure in the Natha sect of Saivism.

Along with Gorakhnath, he is the teacher of seven other followers, making up the Navnath, a group of nine saints. Since it is believed that the saint attained samadhi at this location, his tomb has been established here. This historic shrine is revered by both religions of Hinduism, and Islam because the Natha Sect’s followers call its saints “Pir,” just like Muslims do.
