Ujjain, one of the seven sacred cities of India, is a city of ancient Hindu temples and the holy Kshipra River. As I delved into the city's history, I learned that it was an important center of learning and culture during the Gupta dynasty. The city is also known for its association with the legendary king Vikramaditya. During my visit, I explored some of the most famous temples, including the Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga temple and the Sandipani Ashram where Lord Krishna and Sudama studied. The city also has a rich tradition of textiles and handicrafts. I must also mention that the Kshipra River is considered very holy by Hindus and is believed to have purifying powers.
