Situated on the banks of the sacred Shipra River, Ujjain is one of the seven holiest cities in Hinduism (Sapta Puri) and a major center for pilgrimage, culture, and learning. Known for the Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga — one of the 12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva — Ujjain draws millions of devotees year-round and is also one of the four sites for the Kumbh Mela, held every 12 years.

With a history that spans over 2,000 years, Ujjain was once a prominent seat of astronomy, literature, and trade. Today, it remains a serene city where mythology meets history, where spiritual seekers find peace in ancient rituals, and where every temple, ghat, and alley echoes with divinity.
