The sacred city of Ujjain, also known as the City of Mahakal, becomes even more divine during the holy month of Sawan (Shravan). As lakhs of devotees visit Ujjain to seek blessings from Lord Shiva, this is the perfect time to explore the city’s spiritual and historical richness.
If you’re planning a trip during this auspicious period, here are the top 7 spiritual places in Ujjain you must visit during Sawan — and trust us, each one holds a powerful story.
1️⃣ Shri Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga
No visit to Ujjain is complete without darshan of Mahakal. It is one of the 12 Jyotirlingas in India, and the only one facing south (Dakshinmukhi), believed to protect devotees from untimely death. During Sawan, the temple witnesses special rituals, Aartis, and Bhasma Aarti, creating a surreal spiritual energy.
Pro Tip: Book your Mahakal Darshan package in advance to avoid the rush.
2️⃣ Harsiddhi Temple
Dedicated to Goddess Harsiddhi, this Shaktipeeth is located close to the Mahakaleshwar Temple. The lamp towers (Deep Stambh) lit during festivals are a mesmerizing sight. During Sawan, the temple becomes a hub of feminine spiritual energy and powerful aartis.
3️⃣ Kal Bhairav Temple
An ancient temple where liquor is offered to Lord Kal Bhairav as prasad. This mysterious yet sacred ritual amazes every visitor. A visit here during Sawan is considered essential, especially for those seeking protection from negative energies.
4️⃣ Ram Ghat (Shipra River)
Ram Ghat, on the banks of River Kshipra, is one of the most serene places in Ujjain. Pilgrims perform holy dips here, especially during Sawan Somvaar, believing it purifies the soul. Don’t miss the evening Aarti at Ram Ghat – it’s a divine visual and spiritual experience.
5️⃣ Mangalnath Temple
This temple is known to be the birthplace of Mars (Mangal) according to Hindu beliefs. It’s also a key spot for planetary dosh nivaran (remedies). Visiting Mangalnath during Sawan is believed to bring peace and resolve astrological imbalances.
6️⃣ Sandipani Ashram
Located slightly away from the temple core, this historic ashram is where Lord Krishna and Sudama studied under Guru Sandipani. The peaceful vibes of the ashram make it a must-visit spot for those seeking knowledge and reflection.
7️⃣ Chintaman Ganesh Temple
Situated on the outskirts of Ujjain, this is the oldest temple of Lord Ganesha in the city. The deity is believed to solve all your worries (chinta). Devotees visit this temple to start their Sawan journey with blessings from Vighnaharta.
