UJJAIN TOUR

This is the town of Kalidasa and it features prime in his most-loved composition Meghdoot. And this is also Lord Shiva's ground, where, as the presiding deity, he reigns supreme in one of the 12 jyotirlingas. Example of the reverence is found in the Mahakaleshwar Temple, whose shikhara soars high and the silver Jaladhari gleams on the shivalinga. Ujjain is historical, no doubt, and it holds a prominent spot in the Hindu mythology of the churning of the ocean for the holy nectar.
