Top 5 Places to Visit in Ujjain Beyond Mahakaleshwar Temple

Ujjain is not just about Mahakaleshwar Temple. The city is rich in history, spirituality, and culture. As a hotel owner near Mahakal Temple, I often guide my guests to these must-visit places. Here are the top 5 places you should not miss.

1. Ram Ghat

Located on the banks of River Kshipra, Ram Ghat is the most famous ghat in Ujjain. It is believed that Lord Rama performed puja here. The evening aarti at Ram Ghat is mesmerizing. The ghat is just 1.2 km from Hotel Ujjain.

2. Kal Bhairav Temple

Dedicated to Lord Kal Bhairav, an incarnation of Lord Shiva, this temple is unique because alcohol is offered as prasad. The temple is about 1.8 km from Mahakaleshwar Temple. It is believed that Lord Kal Bhairav protects the city of Ujjain.

3. Harsiddhi Temple

One of the 51 Shakti Peethas, Harsiddhi Temple is located near the Mahakal Temple. The temple has a unique lamp that is believed to have been burning continuously for centuries. The evening aarti here is a must-attend.

4. Sandipani Ashram

This is where Lord Krishna, along with Sudama and other friends, received his education from Guru Sandipani. The ashram is located on the banks of Kshipra River. You can still see the ancient classroom and the Gomti Kund.

5. Ved Shala (Observatory)

Built by Maharaja Jai Singh II, Ved Shala is an ancient astronomical observatory. It houses several yantras (instruments) used for astronomical calculations. It is a fascinating place for history and science enthusiasts.
