I started my journey from Ahmedabad, Gujarat railway station. Ujjain is approximately 400Km from Ahmedabad. Train took around 8hr to reach Ujjain. Train fair is 265 for sleeper coach and 725 for AC3 coach. Train started at 7 PM and reached Ujjain at 3AM. As I came out of the train and observing the railway station, cleanliness, roads, weather etc I felt the aroma of the air was very adorable. It was nothing but the effect of Aarti at "Mahakaleshwar Jyotirling".

Mahakaleshwar Jyotirling is 2 Km far from the railway station. It opens at 4AM and closes at 11PM.

Mahakaleshwar Gate

Ujjain nagri is one of the holiest city of India situated on the bank of Kshipra river. Many temples are in Ujjain and on the bank of Kshipra river. Mobile phones and bags are not allowed inside the Mahakaleshwar mandir, so you can keep them outside the temple on any shop.
