Things you can Experience only in Ujjain

As Ujjain is a spiritual and religious city, most of the things it offers are religious too. But one among the offbeat things to do in Ujjain is the Kumbh Mela which takes only once in 12 years. Though Kumbh Mela takes place also in Haridwar and Nashik, this is one of the rarest among rarest. Millions of pilgrims and saints gather here. One thing which amazes the tourists here is that some of the saints in Kumbh Mela appear naked, as per their custom. 

The main activity during Kumbh Mela takes place in the Shipra River. It is believed that if you take a dip in the Shipra River, all your sins would get washed away. Ujjain City offers you a heritage walk where you can fetch the essence of Ujjain. A famous print style called Batik prints is done at Behrugarh village here. You will be admired by the architecture of Kaliadeh Palace, a 15th-century palace built in Persian style by Mahmud Khilji. The lord Krishna devotees will be caught by the Sandipani Ashram, where Krishna is believed to have studied. 

The Bhimbetka cave's rock paintings are exhibited in the Dr. V S Wakankar Museum, which was the greatest addition to the Indian Archaeology department.
