Explore Ujjain

Ujjain, historically known as Avantika ("The City of Victory"), is more than just a destination; it is a living spiritual phenomenon. Situated on the holy banks of the Kshipra River, it is revered as one of the seven sacred cities (Sapta Puri) in Hinduism that are said to grant liberation (Moksha).

At the heart of the city's existence lies the magnificent Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga. It is the only Swayambhu (self-manifested) Jyotirlinga among the twelve, and uniquely faces south (Dakshinamukhi), representing the direction of death and time. It is believed that Lord Shiva reigns here as the King of Ujjain, and time (Kaal) itself follows his command.

Beyond its spiritual aura, Ujjain is a cradle of ancient history and astronomy. It was the capital of the legendary King Vikramaditya and served as the Prime Meridian of ancient Indian geography for astronomers like Varahamihira and Brahmagupta. The city is also famous for the Simhastha Kumbh Mela, held every 12 years, which transforms the city into the world’s largest congregation of faith.

From the awe-inspiring Bhasma Aarti at dawn—where the deity is worshipped with sacred ash—to the mesmerizing evening Aarti at Ram Ghat, the energy of Ujjain is palpable. Whether you seek spiritual awakening, historical wonders, or inner peace, a journey to Ujjain with Trip Tirth Travels promises a divine experience unlike any other.
